Technically, shouldn't it be possible to backup a Xenix partition from
MSDOS?  I have an ArchiveXL tape drive that doesn't function under Xenix286,
but works great (with their backup software) under MSDOS.  It should be
possible, knowing the Unix file system format, to read the file system
from an MSDOS process and write those files to tape.  Has anyone ever
heard of this being tried?
