    No tape, it was essentially just a high density/capacity floppy drive. Unfortunately for iomega it wasn’t high density enough to compete with CD-R as the price of burners and media dropped.

      Zip and Jazz drives had some serious data stability issues that would have sunk them anyway. I used them for school work and needed to have duplicates because it was a question of when the disk would fail, not if.
