Poking around on eBay, I see that there were other

Wangtek, Everex...) of streaming tape backup drives that look like
they may have used those audio-cassette-like tapes with the notch on
the back edge, much like the TU60. Maybe one of those transports
could be adapted for this wacky scheme? I might buy one of the
cheaper ones and some matching tapes to experiment with.
Are you thinking of the DC2000/2100 type drives? I think that they're a
bit too large. How about, say, an Irwin drive using DC1000 minicarts?
