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

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.<br>
