The ILLIAC IV had such a optical tape unit in 1975. There are scattered
samples of the material around. The company went out of business
before delivering. The tape were optical strips about 4 inches wide
and maybe 3 feet long. Problems were mechanical, handling.
Does any one really need the name of the company? I can ask Ken Stevens.
