Greetings to the List -
Does anyone have a copy of the text of the actual ISO 1863 standard
that defines, I think, the formatting of the ancient 1/2" magnetic tapes???
I am interested to understand better the format of the calculated LRC
at the end of tape blocks, sync signals, record gaps and all the rest.
I contemplate seeing if I can get an 1/2" tape drive operational with
my 68K system by emulating the drive hardware control signals in software.
ISO 1863 appears to govern that: https://webstore.iec.ch/publication/10668
I appreciate any leads.
Regards from the Rocky Mountains,
Jack
