"	Jameco also has a tape drive that stores up to 60MB on a tape

if this is the cms jumbo, (and probably all others that 'work off the
floppy controller') the answer is 'yes and no'.  electrically it will,
but it requires a driver.
coincidentally, i have a back-burner project to write just such a
driver for the jumbo.  i will be moving it up to front-burner this
summer.
