Did any
company ever actually produce a storage product that used
8-track carts (or indeed broadcast carts)? Did it work?
There were commercial systems based on VHS decks, good for a couple of
GB per tape. Prime actually sold them briefly, iirc. The company I
worked for at the time sold a few such systems to our customers, and
made them work. I recall video tape quality being critical.
