MICROTAPE

Specialty Definition: MICROTAPE

Computing

Microtape /mi:'kroh-tayp/ Occasionally used to mean a DECtape, as opposed to a macrotape. Apparently the term "microtape" was actually the official term used within DEC for these tapes until someone coined the word "DECtape", which, of course, sounded sexier to the marketroids. Another version of the story holds that someone discovered a conflict with another company's "microtape" trademark. [Jargon File] (1995-03-16). Source: The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing.
