[Peter Grenader]

The problem with alternate tape formats is the track width.  They went with
3/4 inch not be accident, but it was the least amount that would afford the
fidelity they felt was to their standards. Marcus has experimented with
others, with poor results. THis is form the horses mouth - just quoting
ponies here.
