Yeah backthen computers had atleast 64KB of space were barely 32KB is left for the user to decide what to do with it. Those hard drives were huge but could store up to 1000MB. Cassette tapes were slow but if it was designed to automatically track data, then the user didn't had to manualy search for that data,but that would,ve be probably more expensive to the pount that it come.close to a more efficient floppy disk system,so it wouldn't have make much sense.
