Depending on the file structure, you could RECORD infinite amounts in that
continuous loop. But you had no chance of reading back anything that
wasn't on that last pass through the loop.
And with many, such as the Exatron Stringy Floppy, you had little chance
of reading ANYTHING back, even if you stayed within their file structure.
