I believe the example uses 6, but as mentioned the

generalized to an arbitrary number of tape drives. Personally I think
to do it Hollywood style, you'd need at least 6 drives and it would be
even more impressive if you could get something like 12 drives all in
a row grinding away on it.
Well a DEC TAPE I remember from the British TV series
"Connections".
That is Small Iron at work. :(
