Tape Read/Write Test (#65)
The purpose of this test is to exercise the hardware read/write circuitry and the
basic functionality of the tape cartridge. This test is done by reading 22 blocks of
data and by then writing 22 blocks of data into reserved space on the tape
cartridge.
NOTE:
This test does not check for tape cartridge data consistency, nor does it
check the integrity of every block on tape.
