I thought this was a reference to the C64 C2N Datasette tape drive. Unfortunately not.

I was hoping for the same. Still have the 1531 lying in the attic (next to the C16).

I had been expecting something in the spirit of the "Floppy RAID" [1], but something even more ridiculous on even older technology.

I wrote my first "database" program on a C64 with a Datasette (when I was about 7 years old I think, it didn't really do much!), the name is absolutely an homage to that.
