A digital format that used very small cassettes and scared the sh*t out of the 
record companies because suddenly there was no loss and it could be duplicated, 
till an anti-copy system was forced into all consumer models. (It's in the 
professional machines as well, but takes about a sixteenth of a second to 
defeat, per instructions in the manual.)

Actually, we stilll have them but don't have a working machine on which to play them... mostly Capriccio classical stuff, Marriner conducting various things, and a few jazz titles.  They serviced us with CD copies of nearly all them too.
