That'd be a pretty cool accessory to have as part of my retro homelab.
I don't think it's really ever been documented, either from a quick
search online.

I have a Maynard MaynStream tape backup unit from the
1980's.
It uses audio-format cassettes with 1/4" tape, but it's a different
tape composition, and the cassette has a notch in it to tell the device
it's not just plain audio tape. The capacity was 80 MB per cassette.
I also have four ISA controller cards, four cables, and several
cassettes. We used it for backup with IBM PC/AT boxes many years ago.
Does anybody want it? It seems a shame to throw it in the e-waste bin.
