If anyone has a real photo of this Sony tape please post it.
Its not like a regular audio cassette tape. This is a tape made for data storage only. They are wider. They were commonly used for backup purposes years ago. They were very slow so you couldn't actually read data off them in real time, like if you wanted to listen to an mp3. Basically for backups only. I assume these ones are pretty similar.
