Anybody out there as young as I am may not have ever seen mag tapes in actual use, other than as the standard 'computer cliche' in 70s movies.

I swiped this tape from a discard pile as a historical memento.

<?plugin IncludePhoto?>

Now if you read the label below and work out the math:

<pre>
1600 bytes per inch
2400 feet of tape
</pre>

the capacity of this tape is about 44 megabytes.

<?plugin IncludePhoto file=MagtapeLabel.jpg?>

That's the end of CollectibleStuff for now, back to the [beginning|PictureAlbum].

Or, you might want to check out the SilverFox.
