Hello,

I had an OEM reel-to-reel tape drive for my portable AS/400. It worked, if
the proper sacrifices were made to the technology gods, and it was way
better than diskettes.

I imagine you pulling a mid-sized suitcase with the portable 9401 in one hand, and the other is pulling a chain wound around a fridge-sized 1960's James Bond Evil Overlord style tape drive with rolls affixed to it's bottom. :-D
