current version

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.

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

1600 bytes per inch
2400 feet of tape

the capacity of this tape is about 44 megabytes.
