Ahhh! The memorable Mass Storage System. Pluck, shuck, and play.
ITYM data cell, AKA noodle picker (2321). The MSS used cartridges.
I know the data cell, but I was not referring to it.
The MSS used cartridges; the robot plucked a cartridge
from the honeycomb of cells, moved to an available reader,
shucked the pastic protective cover, and the reader
wound the tape around the R/W mechanism.
ISTR it was the 3950,
The MSS was the 3850, one component of which was the 3851. I'm not
aware of anything with the number 3950.
Right.
