<snip> Of course you can have a full-functional "virtual tape" solution without the hardware, its called CA-Vtape ;} <unsnip>
Since Russell brought it up, I'd like to inquire if users have measured how much CA Vtape cost in cycles. Although we're a small uniprocessor when Vtape activity gets going (activity rate is in the low 100/sec) , we lose about 25% of our processor to Vtape. Is that the kind of numbers that others are seeing? I know YMMV but just fishing for some comparisons.
