No, it was really only 120 MB. I was referring to the length of an audio compact disc, not the capacity of a CD-ROM. At 128 kbps, you'd get about 2 hours of play time.

Of course it didn't really make sense to use digital tapes for that use case, even back then. It was just for fun, and the article sparked some nostalgic joy, which felt worth sharing :)
