Yeah it would!

What's the write speed for an Arduino with an SD interface? It might
be more practical to build a "dumping appliance" that just spools the
tape onto an SD card that is read later.
Yeah, I think this would be the best approach. Then you can use the
connection back to the PC over USB to send status on the operation
instead of the raw data.

Pertec is a pretty simple interface with handshake
lines. I would
imagine you shouldn't have much trouble. An FPGA may be overkill
(certainly harder to work with 5v); you may find it even easier to
just use a microcontroller...
Pertec shield for Arduino, anyone? :-)
