Thanks.  That's what I was looking for. Just general info.  IIRC, back
when I was caring for a pdp 11/44 the RA-80 drive would *just* backup
onto one reel.
Thanks again.

 That depends upon the density you're writing it at.  For example, at
 6250bpi, you should get about 85MB -- 6250bpi x 12ft/in x 1200ft =
 90x10^6.  1200bpi will get you 1200 x 12 x 1200, about 16.4MB.
