I'd never use the 9348 for backups, but it is still required to read those
old 1600BPI tapes our accounting department gives us each day containing
data off of that ancient payment processing machine on the second floor! 

I guess in this case reel to reel tape is better than 96 column punch cards!

PS ... I still have a few hundred of those 96 column punch cards in my desk.
Ha!

9348's are OK.  Not that you would still want to have one to do backups,
but reel to reel tape is still an industry standard, unfortunately.
