There was a time when tape was king in computers. The Iomega Ditto Easy 800 drive was introduced in the mid 1990s as a large storage medium for computer backups. It was Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 certified, and it works with Windows 98. It boasted up to 800MB of compressed storage on one tape! In this video, we'll see what's in the box, try to back up some files, and discuss the format.
