the magtape worked fine for backups, but when i used it to read some files
off a tape I had, it collapsed.  It made funny noises -- a loud thumping --
and took several tries to read from the tape.  The motion of the upper hub
was too fast, and not regular as per normal operation.  It may have munged
my tape in passing.  DO NOT USE!
