I don't have any further information, but based on 80Mb of data, at
86,000bps, at 8 bits per byte?, gives 7441 seconds, divided by 3600
seconds per hour, gives two hours for 80Mb backup.  Assuming you use
your own VCR, and inexpensive video tape, this might make sense against
a dedicated 1/4" cartridge machine...I guess.
