You could use Glen Everhardt?s program to read the physical tape and

simh VAX simulated tape drive will be in simh format and will be
readable just find on a simh KS10.

? There's also a VMSTPCE program by Glen Everhardt that dumps magtapes
to disk container files and back again, but it uses RMS variable
length record files for its container.? Each file record is one tape
record.? Not simh compatible, although I could write a program to
convert to tap format.
