IDE Tape, oh I can imagine. Dealth with Zip drives and other chancer short lived formats - though some just attached via LPT port. I'd imagine you would want that on it's own controller as could easily see the slow transfer quirks causing issues with any other attached device - there again having an HD on same IDE run as your HD was never ideal - more so if a burner. So a slow writting device upon IDE - oh yeah, you was setup for sure with that combo for many head scratchings and quirks.
