3、History Technical Committee ECMA TC17 has produced a series of ECMA Standards for magnetic tapes and magnetic tape cartridges containing tapes of different widths, e.g. 12,7 mm, 8 mm, 6,35 mm and 3,81 mm, almost all of which have been adopted by ISO/IEC under the fast-track procedure as ECMA Standar

4、ds. The series of such cartridges with a magnetic tape of 12,7 mm width and longitudinally recorded tracks comprises the following standards.

31、 a magnetic tape 12,7 mm wide, so as to provide physical interchange of such cartridges between drives. It also specifies the quality of the recorded signals, the recording method and the recorded format known as Parallel Serpentine, thereby allowing data interchange between drives by means of such

32、cartridges. The format supports variable length Logical Records, high speed search, and the use of the algorithm for data compression specified in Standard ECMA-222. Information interchange between systems also requires, at a minimum, agreement between the interchange parties upon the interchange co

33、de(s) and the specification of the structure and labelling of the information on the interchanged cartridge. Together with a standard for volume and file structure, e.g. Standard ECMA-13, this ECMA Standard provides for full data interchange between data processing systems. Conformance Magnetic tape
