You'd have an easier time doing that with cassette tapes, and the security would be almost as good, wouldn't it? Label them as Grateful Dead bootlegs or something, and put them in with the rest of your old dusty tapes that you never listen to anymore. I used cassettes for mass storage with my first computer, an Atari 400, and I had a friend who did so with an IBM XT (he didn't have the optional floppy drives, let alone a hard disk; later on he upgraded to two 360K full-height floppies and a 10 Mb HardCard, which seemed like astoundingly advanced technology for the time). I once played at high volume on the family stereo a tape containing some BASIC programs I'd typed in from a magazine, and was severely reprimanded for scaring the dog.
