@dbeato That's pretty cool to actually work with that technology. I'm kind of jealous!
I didn't like it though, nothing like breaking a cassette...
And they are so slow. You really don't know slow until you use an audio cassette for data storage. They actually recorded audio and played it back, and it is obviously linear. So image the worst, old floppy ever, now imagine that you couldn't use a table of contents but had to do everything at half speed, and sequentially! What might take three minutes with an old floppy could be 30 minutes with a cassette!
