Sumario:A mass memory system for digital data, comprising a video tape recorder interfaced to a small controlling computer, is being developed by CERN for use in on-line data acquisition in elementary particle physics experiments. The storage capacity of each video-tape cartridge is about 7*10^10 data bits, equivalent to several hundred conventional 9 track 800 bpi computer magnetic tape reels, and the system accepts a continuous data input rate of over 360,000 16-bit words/sec.
