[Gllug] Historical question

[SteveC]

in fact, if you use 2400 bit/sec as the speed then say you want to fill
a zx spectrum 128k using it you have

128 k * 1024 byte/k * 8 bit/byte / 2400 bit/sec / 60 sec/min

== 7 min

which is about the right magnitude, but I think more like twice that
long? So 1200 bit /sec would mean half a meg on a tape?
