minus-squareCort@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up35·edit-23 days ago3200 fci is flux changes per inch, so basically the number of bits per inch of tape. 700GP is the style of tape. 1/2 inch, 9-tracks. The length of the tape depends on the size/diameter of the reel it’s on. Going by the markings on the left it’s about 1000ft of tape.
