Kennedy made some incremental tape drives for key-to-tape systems with 8" reel capacity. The advantage, of course, is the smaller footprint--and key-to-tape tends not to generate a lot of data, as it's basically a glorified keypunch simulator. I wonder if this is the intended application of the drive in question. --Chuck
