Joys and nightmares from my past.
Go tape I said. But we need more rapid access they said.
They accessed the optical library three times in two years.
Reminds me too of the early days of CD-R...when you had to go with the two Japanese makers of media because they used the right dyes. Oh, the late ‘80s, early ‘90s.
Burning at 1×...and if you looked at it, moved the mouse, or sneezed, you were FUBAR.
When the first 2× burners came out, for a moment I believed God existed, and loved me.
Now let’s talk Bernoulli (shudder), SyQuest, Zip, Jaz, and Minidisc. Or maybe not. Too many tears.
SyQuest gets my highest rating. They were generally very solid.
Cheers,
Ian
