Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9803969A1] A system for storing data on and retrieving data from magnetic tape media (300) utilizing a linear format having data tracks (31-38) arranged on an azimuth (370) from the longitudinal axis of the magnetic tape media. The system receives a data stream from a host computer (1), segments the data into tracks, and writes the tracks in azimuthally oriented tracks on the magnetic tape media. A linear tape mechanism (400) is used to write and read data in the azimuthally oriented tracks such that a high data-density is achieved for a linear tape mechanism.
