As you wish, but normally at the file level. You can OPEN files, load 
BASIC programs with OLD and so on.
The documentation is available here:
ftp://computermuseum.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/tektronix/tek4051/

It's only in German, though. The disk routines are part of loadable 
extenstions that can be loaded into a RAM Backpack module.
