Porn in the 90’s, that was not in print, was stored on tape. By the mid 90:s the most tech savvy of us saved porn on a “zip disk” which were also primarily tape drives.
Zip disks were closer to floppies. Magnetic disks and tape are fundamentally different (random access, especially), although the physics behind the R/W operation is the same.
Millennial lies!

no. zip disks were a shitty removable format that ran off parallel (slowly) or scsi (paying more), or eventually atapi/ide and usb iirc.
iomega also made tape drives, but zip disks weren’t it.
