But the punch cards were good book marks. I still have a small supply.

The cost for a tape library enabler is contingent on the number of tape
slots, but after something like 512 slots, the next tier up allows for
an unlimited number of tape slots.  
Perhaps that's what you are thinking of.

Geez! You guys with those cassette tapes had all the luck! I got stuck
taking courses in assembly language and FORTRAN on punched cards and
paper tape. Fortunately, i eventually found a way to use a "modern"  crt
to do my homework in a text editor and submit the jobs via batch, then
punch the media in order to submit the assignment for a grade.
