3、 Brief history ECMA have produced a series of ECMA Standards for cassettes and cartridges containing magnetic tapes of different width and characteristics. ECMA-33 (1 976): ECMA-46 (1 976): ECMA-79 (1985): ECMA-98 (I 985): ECMA-120 (1987): ECMA- 139 (1 990): ECMA-145 (1990): ECMA- I46 (1990): ECM A-

8、ing systems. In recent years, other magnetic media, originally developed for audio and video applications have been considered for use in data processing applications for storage as well as for information interchange. The recording method known as helical scan recording. together with new types of

9、magnetic opes. allows to achieve capacities of more than I gigabyte of user data. Standard ECMA-139 was the first of a series of ECMA Standards for such magnetic tape cartridges. Upon request of Committee ISO/IEC JTCI/SCll it has been adopted as an International Standard under the fast-track procedu

10、re as ISO/IEC 10777. This Standard ECMA-171 is a further standard for the same medium, however specifying two different lengths of tape. Also upon request of ISO/IEC JTCI/SCI I, Standards ECMA-145, ECMA-146, ECMA- 150 and ECMA- 152 have heen contriliuted to ISO/IEC JTCI and adopted under the fast-tr

It also specifies the quality of the recorded si

36、gnals, the recorded format and the recording method, thereby allowing data interchange between drives by means of such magnetic tape cartridges. This ECMA Standard specifies two types of cartridges which, for the purpose of this ECMA Standard, are referred to as Type A and Type B. For Type A, the ma

37、gnetic tape has a nominal thickness of 13 pm and a nominal length of up to 60,5 m. For Type B, the magnetic tape has a nominal thickness of 9 pm a length of up to 92 m. Conformance Magnetic tape cartridge A tape cartridge shall be in conformance with this Standard if it meets all mandatory requireme

38、nts specified herein for either Type A or Type B. The tape requirements shall be satisfied throughout the extent of the tape. Generating system A system generating a magnetic tape cartridge for interchange shall be entitled to claim conformance to this Standard if all recordings on the tape meet the

39、 mandatory requirements of this Standard. A claim of conformance shall state whether cartridges of Type A or Type B or both are supported. Receiving system A system receiving a magnetic tape cartridge for interchange shall be entitled to claim conformance with this Standard if it is able to handle a

40、ny recording made on the tape according to this Standard. A claim of conformance shall.state whether cartridges of Type A or Type B or both are supported.
