There are other weird VHS-based formats, such as WVHS, which was used to store HD-ish analog video on VHS- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W-VHS

Alesis also developed an 8-track digital audio recorder based on VHS, ADAT, which used SVHS tapes and could record 20-bit 48khz. ADAT was pretty popular in smaller studios, and was great for the time before multi-gigabyte hard drives. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADAT

Also, ADAT has been immortalized in the first verse of the lyrics in The Prodigy’s _Diesel Power_ [1].
