And that it what makes it really useful. Reading and writing DECtapes that didn't come from a PDP-8 is easy.
Other DECtape controllers can also read tapes from other systems.

Only if the Mark Track is in an standard format.
Which they are on all DEC systems.
But sure, I don't know about LINCtape. That might be a different trick.
Thanks!
I started to test with TU55 drive today, but the tape doesn't move. I suspect a malfunctioning drive. I'll try another one tomorrow.
