The Kansas City standard (KCS), or Byte standard, is a data storage protocol for standard cassette tapes at 300 bits per second. It originated in a symposium sponsored by Byte magazine in November 1975 in Kansas City, Missouri to develop a standard for the storage of digital microcomputer data on inexpensive consumer quality cassettes. The first systems based on the standard appeared in 1976.
The SWTPC AC-30 Cassette Interface implements the Kansas City standard. In May 1976, it was sold for US$80 (equivalent to about $400 in 2023).
