MagTape
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?> [Forward|VacuumTube]
