This drive still had a lot of life in it, but it would just gather dust in my possession, until the march of technology outdistanced it so much that only a hard-bitten hobbyist would want it anymore (say another six months!).

 ditto - Definitions from Dictionary.com
Word History: Ditto, which at first glance seems a handy and insignificant sort of word, actually has a Roman past, for it comes from dictus, "having been said," the past participle of the verb dīcere, "to say." In Italian dīcere became dire and dictus became detto, or in the Tuscan dialect ditto.
Italian detto or ditto meant what said does in English, as in the locution "the said story." Thus the word could be used in certain constructions to mean "the same as what has been said"; for example, having given the date December 22, one could use 26 detto or ditto for 26 December.
The first recorded use of ditto in English occurs in such a construction in 1625.

We feel that users will find that external tape drives are a better choice than internal drives, since they are much easier to install and can be used to provide storage for more than one computer.
The drive is quickly installed by plugging the cable into the drive and the parallel port.
We also liked the fact that with the external drive we could easily move it to a second computer and backup that computer on the same tape, since backup files can be appended to each other.

 In The Trenches: Having my way with Nemesis
I had the floppy drive back (without its own separate controller), and I had the feeling I would have the serial port back too (these two controllers are almost identical in their functions).
I took the old 500 MB Seagate drive that was sitting in Nemesis, but unconnected, and installed it in the H45 portable drive frame.

And what's worse, once a drive has mis-written the cartridge's proprietary Z-Tracks, which are used by the drive to manage the condition of the cartridge, the entire cartridge will go "offline" and become totally inaccessible on ANY drive.
Those other drives are probably fine since it's not their fault that they can't read a cartridge that was damaged by the first drive.
SpinRite operates OUTSIDE the drive to recover data and preserve and maintain the condition of the drive as far as the OUTSIDE world is concerned.
