As mentioned in an earlier comment: dev.to/phlashgbg/comment/2okc

..I wrote a device driver and tar implementation for backing up MS-DOS machines to 0.25" cartridge tapes. Getting it accepted to the Simtel archive was a learning experience, I had to have everything documented, buildable with the listed tools and supply tests - it's almost like they wanted people to use it :) Good lessons to take to the next project!
