Bandwidth, bandwidth, y'know. Audio tape recorders have been around for
a long time, and they're pretty standardized (since there isn't that
much of a 'format' to standardize!) but the more complex circuitry and
the mechanisms to deal with the higher-bandwidth information transfer
from and to magnetic tape probably never caught on in the audio field.
Now we have video recorders and this funny DAT system too... maybe
there's something yet to be done? :-) adam
