I am left with the following impression as to what was indicated here:
This may be a reasonable means of operation for the disk world. It is woefully inadequate for the tape world, as follows: - In general, command ordering is crucial - out of order command processing will lead to data corruption.
If this blocking were performed, both the throughput and capacity of a tape device/media would be negatively impacted by an order of magnitude or more. This would occur even assuming an instantaneous transport. Joe Breher
