Hi, Open reel tapes are equivelent to tapes like used on the older reel to reel tape recorders. They used to have open reel tapes for audio and video recorders. Many are still in use today. Open reel tapes had to be hand threaded through the tape transport whereas a cassette tape is self contained and the transport handles all the unloading and loading functions. Hope this helps, Cubby

Before Floppy disks were available, people still transferred data. It used to be with help of punch cards, reel to reel tapes, and cassette tapes. The early home computers used cassette tapes.

8-track tapes have one reel . . . that is why they can keep on playing without having to turn them over.
Cassette tape, 8-track tapes, reel to reel tapes, vinyl LP's and 45's, wire recorders, shellac and resin records, wax cylinder, and books. In computers a 3.5 inch diskette was used, it had a 1.44Mb capacity. It was known as a floppy disk and a 'stiffie' in Australia. Before 3.5 floppies there 6.25 floppies (that were soft and bent very easily), before the 6.25 were 12" disks also called floppies (just large versions of the 6.25"), before that there was reel-to-real and casset tape storage, before that there were keypunch cards, before that there were manual switches and vacuum tubes. And finally, before that was the abacus and the difference engine, and before that was the human brain.
