Abstract :
Essentially a manual-load version of the SLT-80, the Dennison Kybe MLT-500 cleaner/tester for maintaining and evaluating 800-, 1600-, and 6250-bpi computer tapes differentiates between signal dropouts that are within a system´s error correction routines and those that will cause an abort, a testing technique that emulates the tape transport´s 1600-bpi error recognition routines.
