But maybe pennies were tighter at DEC. Univac had a cross-licensing agreement with IBM so that wouldn't be an impediment. This is the first time I heard that IBM had such a patent. In the late 50's I thought the main tape problem was that many of the tape drives were designed for telemetry and someone in their marketing department said "Hey, these would be great on computers, too". They weren't great at all.
