Interesting.
You might remember the Exatron Stringy Floppy drive.
This worked with "endless loop" magnetic tape in a small cartridge.  
The magnetic tape wasn't actually manufactured as a loop -- the ends 
were glued together.
It came out for several old computers.

I bought the Commodore 64 version.  The Operating System came on a 
stringy floppy.  The first time I tried it out, the glue came 
unglued, and the tape spilled out of its cartridge.  I'd say that 
constitutes the most unreliable operating system with which I've had 
experience.
