# Rotronics Wafadrive

Manufactured by [BSR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birmingham_Sound_Reproducers), the Wafadrive used an improved version of the [Exatron stringy floppy](http://localhost/company/a-j-micro-drive/) drive.

The Wafadrive included two continuous loop “[stringy floppy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stringy_floppy)” tape drives, an RS-232 interface and Centronics parallel port.

Designed for the ZX Spectrum, this device requires twister board to work with the TS 2068.
