Rotronics Wafadrive

The Rotronics Wafadrive is a magnetic tape storage peripheral launched in late 1984 for the ZX Spectrum home computer.

[2][5] The Wafadrive comprises two continuous loop stringy floppy tape drives, an RS-232 interface and Centronics parallel port.

The cartridges (or "wafers"), the same as those used in Entrepo stringy floppy devices for other microcomputers, are physically larger than Microdrive cartridges.

[7] The larger sizes had the disadvantage of slower access, due to the longer length of tape.

The same drive mechanism, manufactured by BSR, and cartridges were used in at least the following similar devices: This computer hardware article is a stub.
