By adding this new 4mm product, DIC///DIGITAL now offers the most complete line of 4mm and 8mm products in the industry; from its 162 Megabyte cartridge for data transfer to its new 2-GIGABYTE product, which is capable of storing up to 8-GIGABYTES with compression. "In today's backup media market 4mm and 8mm are making a strong penetration, by offering a lower priced drive and the capability of storing more data on a very compact cartridge, at a very low price per megabyte", says J. Martinez, President of DIC Digital. "The 4mm market had a slow start in the large storage installations, but now with the introduction of new drives and the 90 meter media, the storage capabilities of 4mm are equaling, and in some cases, exceeding that of 8mm. Therefore, we do not see 4mm replacing 8mm, but between the two new technologies they are replacing the applications using old fashion analogue tapes.", Martinez adds.
