Barely. Good. ENOUGH.

I wish people here didn't assume that tape means analogue. There were
(even if they don't exist now) quite a few digital tape systems.

Trouble is you don't have one of the major advantages of a digital system
- random access. Having to spool up and down a tape to find something was
a real PITA. And they usually could only be copied in real time.
