The Firmware-Release 1.3e from Werner Szugat had an option to bring that 
tape interface to the frontpanels out.

The tape interface was not that slow. The quickdisk is in fact not a 
random access medium with controllable head. It works simply linear like 
a tape, the magnetic disk is moving under the head and the head is moved 
slowly from the center to the edge. If I remember right storing reading 
on tape took around 1.5 times of the quickdisk.
