Re: Archiving disks to tape? (late 1970s)

["Usenet news" <usenet@usenet.com>]

There was also a program called Disk2Tape, that backed up 5.25 floppies to 
cassette.  I believe that it was published in a magazine, Call A.P.P.L.E. or 
Hardcore Computing, not sure though.  I used it for a while to copy 
diskettes, but when I got my second drive it lost it's appeal because it was 
much slower than a disk drive.
