ComByte

ComByte, Inc., was a short-lived American computer hardware company active from 1993 to 1996 and based in Fort Collins, Colorado. The company marketed the Doubleplay, a combination tape drive and 3.5-inch floppy drive that uses commodity QIC tapes while reading floppy disks twice as fast as standard floppy drives. The company's founders previously worked as executives for Colorado Memory Systems before that company was acquired by Hewlett-Packard in 1992. Doubleplay faltered in the market, and ComByte voluntarily dissolved in mid-1996.
