Considerations for Storage

Storage technology for the LC-81 minicomputer must be "historically correct". Flash drive, for example, is not a good choice in that respect. Real legacy devices, however, such as paper punch tapes are out of my reach so I am considering intermediate solutions such as audio tapes, floppy drives and EPROM cartridges.

In general, I am more mentally oriented to tapes rather than disks. One reason is simplicity, the other is that working with tapes is interesting because of the limitations imposed by its sequential nature.
