It definitely is a > keeper and already copied to my "Commentary" folder. ---Looking back it seemed a little top heavy, but necessary in order to understand why we're all now dealing with tape formats that are so damn delicate. I find it shocking that no one in the design committees stood up to inject some "real world" factors into the specs that make up the tape stock and transport layouts. The drive for miniaturization is all well and good but, truth be told, we're now dealing with tape stock that is as thin as a human hair, written on by head assemblies that are almost designed on the "molecular" level. A slightly wider tape with a few more mils of thickness and we would have something that was still small but more manageable and durable. Ahhh, if only those pesky things like gravity and foreign "molecules" could have been removed. We'd probably have a perfect format!
