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. {Compatibility details (http://www.iomega.com/support/techs/ditto/3040.html)}. (1997-03-26)
