Ahhh! The memorable Mass Storage System. Pluck, shuck, and play.
ITYM data cell, AKA noodle picker (2321). The MSS used cartridges.
-------------------------------<unsnip>-----------------------------------
Rumor had it at one time: the MSS cartridges contained all the left-over
tape from the 2321 strips. Seems that the tape was over-stocked 'cuz
the 2321 never took off like someone hoped it would.
(Never mind that a random seek test from OLTs would "dance" it all
around the computer room floor!) :-)
