ISP Information:
A storage medium that consists of a long band of magnetic material wound around a couple of reels. Tapes can hold a lot of information, but are typically slow to access different parts of the tape, and can be unreliable for long-term storage due to their magnetic nature.

(mega meaning 10^6). 98.05 megabytes * (8-bits /byte) / 9.9 seconds = 79.2 megabits/secondWow excellent Chris,I did not even notice the flawed reasoning in Phil's post :DNote to myself: Always check calculations of others lol.So that would mean 79.2% saturation under ideal circumstances :DSkybuck.
