Tape Drives

I've seen cartridge tapes for PCs that claim to "emulate" a floppy
disk, allowing you to use them like an MS-DOS volume.

Does anybody have experience using these with uport or SCO?  Are
there any drivers for them (commercial or PD)?

I have an application for lots of almost-random access on-line data
(writing a bunch of files and then some index information at the end
and being able to update the indexes).  It requires removable media,
so a fixed disk is out.

Please email.  Thanks for any help.
