Tecmar Dittos To The Max - Tecmar Technologies Ditto Max Professional 10GB tape drive - Product Announcement

Computer Technology Review, July, 1999

Tecmar Technologies, Inc. unveiled that it is now shipping its Ditto Max Professional 10GB tape drive to reseller channels. Tecmar Technologies acquired the product line from Iomega earlier this year. The new drive features "One-Button" backup, copy, and restore--and it can store up to 10GB of compressed data or 5GB native.

The tape drive features Ditto tools software. In addition, the drive will ship with Tecmar's Fullback system-recovery software; two diskettes created with the software will restore data in the event of a hard disk crash.

The company's Flash!File technology allows users to drag and drop files to a special 125MB area. Files stored in this area can be accessed in five seconds.

The internal drive is priced at $199 MSRP and comes with Ditto Tools software (in five languages), DOS software, a Ditto DASH DX accelerator card, and a cable. The external version is priced at $249 MSRP and includes Ditto Tools software, a parallel port cable, and a power supply. Both drives are compatible with Windows 98, Windows 95, Windows 3.1, NT 4.0 Workstation, and DOS 5.X software. Both drives are also compatible with 3GB, 5GB, 7GB, and 10GB Ditto Max cartridges, and come with a two-year limited product warranty. They are also Y2K compliant.
