In the dying days of the Zip drive, IOMEGA made one… that hooks up to your TV. Was this a good idea? Or a poorly-executed and frustrating act of desperation? Tune in to find out!

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.
Same with normal floppy disks. Their reliability was abysmal, as was their longevity.
