This was developed when tape drives used half-inch tapes in lengths up to 2,400 feet and seven or nine-track recording, storing up to about 150MB per reel - much depended on the length lost to IRG usage between blocks, but block sizes beyond 20,000 were considered large. Subsequent tape designs have included 18, 36, and 128 tracks, helical recording and storage capacities in tens of gigabytes. Naturally, the tape labelling protocols have become even more complex, but, these matters are handled by more complex operating systems. |
