I should bug Eric about this, but the .tap files that library creates doesn't have the Supnik SIMH extensions

I use it for all of the SCSI recoveries that I do on Linux machines.
It also works with 1/4" cartridges but you want to keep the block size at 512 so that if there is a bad
physical block it will only return that one block as bad instead of however many blocks the read attempts
to return.
