Description: I don't know much about these. I believe these are from the early 80's, though they were being used into the early 1990s based on the writing on the labels. My understanding, based on what I could find on the Internet, is that a 10 foot tape like these would hold 14 kilobytes of data. I found this description of them in PC Magazine: "A Stringy Floppy was a magnetic tape drive for the Radio Shack TRS-80 personal computer. Introduced in 1979 by Exatron in Sunnyvale, California, the drive read a continuous-loop cartridge of 1/16" tape 10 times faster than Radio Shack's tape cassette drives. A handful of games and applications were offered in this "tape wafer" format, and several thousand drives were sold before the floppy disk made them obsolete.
