Abstract
Summary form only given, as follows. Longitudinal magnetic tape recording technology developed by IBM has produced very significant advances that will permit a future generation of products to offer performance well beyond that of the familiar 3480, 3490, and 3490E. Several key technological advances have been integrated to provide significantly higher capacity and data rate, combined with higher reliability. These jumps in capacity, data rate, and reliability are far larger than any prior such advances in the history of IBM longitudinal magnetic tape recording. Another benefit of the new technology is that it is affordable: its higher performance and reliability can be offered at prices comparable to those of today's other longitudinal tape devices. >
