After we tried a papaer tape OS with a big spool of paper tape,
on our 11/20 sn 156,, we ran DOS11 on DECtape for a while.
RT was designed to be simple and not access the "disc" much.
DOS wasn't. It read the directory every time it accessed a new file.
Watching DECtapes spin gets boring rapidly.
How many people have used the LINC-tape OS on a Nova, (or Rolm)?
That was hell.
