Default Re: The best data storage system that never took off.

It sounds similar to microfilm.

McDonnell Douglas developed a transparent video disc format with the data encoded as lots of black dots printed on.

It only had a short playing time for video, but they put it to good use as a way to store technical information for their aircraft.
