Hal, Anonymous mail is always interesting. Here's one reacting to my post on partitioning...

You worte:
I think partitioning is a feature inherent in a helical scan recorder. Because the data rate is decoupled from tape speed, virtually all helical scan recorders contain fairly simple software logic that allows the partitioning of a cassette into up to 256 logical volumes."

Partitioning is not a feature 'inherent' to helical scan and is
virtually exclusive to Ampex at this time. I've looked at one other mfg (SONY) claiming partitioning but their overhead was enormous making it basically un-usable.


Hmmm...perhaps we need to check into this partitioning feature more closely.

Regards,

Gus
