30、agnetic tape car- tridges - 18 tracks, 1491 data bytes per millimetre (37 871 data bytes per inch), IS0 9661:1988. The cartridge, magnetic tape, and recording format represent a significant advancement in reliability and volumetric efficiency for 12.57-mm (0.495inch) magnetic tape. In the developmen

31、t of this stan- dard, careful consideration was given to current practices, existing equip- ment and supplies, the broadest possible acceptance, and to providing a basis for future improvements in the use of the cartridge medium. The standard contains specifications for the physical, magnetic, and p

32、er- formance properties of the magnetic media, and the dimensions and char- acteristics of the cartridge. This standard includes a number of new criteria that are the result of experi- ences obtained in high-density recording on magnetic tape. As additional experience is gained, improvement in test

33、methods and the need for addi- tional criteria should be expected. This is particularly relevant in the areas of mechanical interaction between the magnetic tape and the recording head. There are seven annexes to this standard. Annexes A and B are normative. Annexes C through G are informative and n

They should be sent to the X3 Secretariat, Information Technology Industry Council, 1250 Eye Street, NW, Suite 200, Washington, DC 20005. This standard was process

35、ed and approved for submittal to ANSI by Accredited Standards Committee on Information Technology, X3.

43、TIONAL STANDARD American National Standard for Information Technology - ANSI X3.265-l 995 Magnetic Tape and Cartridge for Information Interchange - Unrecorded, 36-track, Parallel, 12.57 mm (0.495 in), 1944 ftpmm (49 378 ftpi) Group-Coded Recording 1 Scope, purpose, and application 1.1 Scope This sta

44、ndard provides the requirements for an unrecorded tape cartridge to be used for information interchange among information-processing systems. Such a cartridge comprises two parts: - a case to provide protection of the media from contaminants and human handling, and to facilitate loading and unloadin

45、g of the cartridge by the drive; - a magnetic tape of 12.573 mm (0.495 in) width held inside the case on a reel. The tape shall be transported on the reel for digital recording at a physical density of 1944 ftpmm (49 378 ftpi). 1.2 Purpose The purpose of this standard is to define the requirements a

46、nd supporting test methods necessary to ensure information interchange at acceptable performance levels. It is distinct from a specification in that it delineates a minimum of restrictions consistent with compatibility in interchange transactions. The performance levels contained in this standard re

47、present the minimum acceptable levels of performance for interchange purposes. They, therefore, represent the performance levels that the interchange items should meet or surpass during their useful life and thus define end-of-life crite- ria for interchange purposes. The performance levels in this

48、standard are not intended to be employed as substitutes for purchase specifications. Wherever feasible, quantitative performance levels that shall be met or exceeded to comply with this standard are given. In all cases, including those in which quantitative limits for requirements falling within the

49、 scope of this standard are not stated but left to agreement between the interchange par- ties, standard test methods and measurement procedures shall be used to determine such limits. The interchange parties complying with the applicable standards should be able to achieve com- patibility without the need for additional exchange of technical information. 1.3 Application 1.3.1 Conformance A magnetic tape cartridge conforms to this standard if it satisfies all requirements of this standard. The tape requirements shall be satisfied throughout the extent of the tape. 1.3.2 Dimensions
