I connected my TZ30 to a linux box and after my rooting around in various boxes to find an appropriate terminator, I bodged together a working setup. The tape is responsive, and I seem to be collecting the right data using 'dd if=/dev/nst0 of=blkxxxx bs=32768 count=1', but I'd like to automate the process without writing a bunch of code (mostly to handle errors). I also have TU58's (easy), and 9-Tracks (hard) to dump as well. The 9-Tracks will require getting an ultrix box running, but that's a winter project (free heating!).
Is there any (linux) software to read a real magnetic tape and write the appropriate .TAP file? I don't see anything in open-simh/simtools.
Any guidance moving forward?
Thanks,
CW
