- The Ditto is a tape drive using 3M tapes. That's why they targeted it as
- a mean of doing backup. It is available only with PC parallel interface.
- Currently would not work with existing Amigas. Hopefully with the
- inclusion of a PC bidirectional port on the Walker, someone would support
- it. I believe the 800M capacity requires data compression.

- The Zip & Jazz drive on the other hand are disk drive with removable media
- and does come in SCSI favour.
