Title
Information Systems - Helical-Scan Digital Computer Tape Cartridge for Information Interchange (3.81-mm (0.150-in) Data/DAT Recorded Format)

American National Standards Institute

Publication Date:
Jan 1, 1992

Scope:

This standard provides the requirements for the helical-scan recording method and the Data/DAT recorded format of a 3.81-mm (0.150-in) magnetic tape cartridge to be used for information interchange between information processing systems.

Information interchange between information processing systems requires the use of this standard in conjunction with the unrecorded tape and cartridge requirements provided by American National Standard for Information systems - Unrecorded helical-scan digital computer tape cartridge for information interchange, 3.81-mm (0.150-in), ANSI X3.206.(Footnote 1))

Additionally, information interchange requires, at a minimum, the utilization of a labeling and file structure and an interchange code as agreed upon by the interchange parties.

It is not within the scope of this standard to describe unrecorded tape and cartridge requirements, labeling and file structure requirements, or interchange code requirements.
