Sort of like back in the dark ages when you'd see computers on TV or in movies, with the tape drives spinning back 'n forth. I used to be a computer tech, working on the old mini computers and the only time I'd see a tape drive doing that was when I was running diagnostics. In fact, there was one occasion when a TV network was in our office to get some shots of a computer system. We had to run the diagnostics to give them what they wanted.
Oh :-o
I always wondered why the tapes were doing that. Seeking? Reading and writing on the same region?
