Daniel.

October 28 - Philips Laser Magnetic Storage (Philips LMS) announced 
a new tape technology, NCTP. Transfer rate is 10MB/sec.
Capacity is 20GB, uncompressed, per cartridge. NCTP stores data at 
$.004 per megabyte. The cartridges have 25 times more capacity
than the previous generation 36--track cartridge and deliver higher 
performance and capacity than alternatives - at a fraction of the
price of other high--end choices. List price is $16,995. NCTP will be 
available in limited quantities in 1Q97 and will be in full production 
in 2Q97.
