Electronic Data Processing Tape

Electronic Data Processing Tape refers to a type of storage medium used in early computer systems for storing and processing data. It is a long, narrow strip of material, typically made of plastic or magnetic material, that is coated with a magnetic substance. This magnetic coating allows data to be written onto the tape and read back later.

In the context of the supply class Information Technology Supplies, Electronic Data Processing Tape refers to the physical tapes used for data storage and processing purposes. These tapes were commonly used in mainframe computers and early computer systems before the advent of more advanced storage technologies like hard drives and solid-state drives.

Electronic Data Processing Tapes are categorized under the supply group Information Technology Equipment (Including Firmware), Software, Supplies And Support Equipment. This supply group encompasses a wide range of IT-related products, including hardware, software, supplies, and support equipment necessary for the functioning and maintenance of information technology systems.

In summary, Electronic Data Processing Tapes are a type of storage medium used in early computer systems for data storage and processing. They fall under the supply class Information Technology Supplies in the supply group Information Technology Equipment (Including Firmware), Software, Supplies And Support Equipment.
