  Ditto Drive
  
     <hardware, storage> The Ditto tape drives range in capacity
     from 120 megabytes to 1.6 gigabytes (data compression
     can roughly double these figures).  The newer devices are
     designed for special tapes, though they will read standard
     tape types.
  
     The largest of tape stores up 3.2 GB.  Using an enhanced
     floppy drive card the transfer rate approaches the claimed
     19 MB/minute.  External parallel port versions are also
     available.
