Those are actually minicassettes and preceded the microcassette by about two
years. Astonishingly enough it's still an active format.

You can find machines and cassettes to this day.

Subject: Re: [ARSCLIST] Microcassettes
I have some microcassettes recorded on a GE branded machine
from around 1980. These are rim drive, not capstan drive
like the later formats. Does anyone have a list of compatible
machines? I was considering taking the tape out of the
cassette, putting it in a capstan drive shell, and dealing
with and speed difference and the obvious pitch variation
throughout the tape pack, after the transfer. Seems like
that would be a real hassle, however.
