I at one time did have a program, was probably DOS 3.3 that did copy
disks back and forth to the tape drive.  I seem to remember that it was
supposed to be able to fit five disks on one side of a 90 minute tape.

This was probably twelve years ago and that's all that I remember about
it.  Never used it, so can't be certain about any of this.
