Why did DEC not use the LINCtape format for the PDP-8? I assume maintaining
format compatibility between their low, mid, and high range systems was
important to them? I suppose there was no other good solution to
transferring large files across different DEC platforms than to use
magnetic tape...so I may have answered my own question here.
