I am considering buying a DSP3500 server to use as an Ethernet
gateway, to run network servers (registry, location broker, printers,
etc.), and to use as a general computation server.

I am wondering about including a cassette tape drive on this system.
Since the one on my DN3000 stops all activity at times when in use, I
am concerned that the use of one on the server would interfere with
proper operation of the TCP gateway and other servers.

Does anyone have any experience to refute (or confirm) this?
