   ~90KB of
storage and prone to tape stretch? ;-)

 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZX_Microdrive)  
 Reminds me of the Datasonix Pereos that attempted to get 1GB on a 
 Sony NT microcassette.  I wonder if any backups have survived? 
I have Jim Battle's CC-40 and Wafertape drive. I need to see if that works
still. I know reliability was a serious issue, which was why the wafertape
never got beyond a prototype (unfortunate as this left the CC-40 with no good
storage options and it was a wonderful little system).
