Haven't seen such a thing, but given a decent size disk, reading a tape and producing
the corresponding SIMH style *.tap file would be easy enough. On RSTS you could write it
in BASIC/PLUS (or FORTH :-) )

Hi,
Just got a real (Cipher M990 on TS05-emulating controller) tape drive
running and would like to make exact copies of some [9-track] tapes "to
guard against disaster." Probably will also do some imaging, so bonus if
the candidate program can handle that too.
This is on an 11/34; I don't have a good q-bus tape controller yet or I'd
try it on uVAX with NetBSD or something less "exciting" :)
Anyone know of good programs to do this with only one tape drive? Don't
care which operating system.
Been looking through DECUS archives but have found nothing yet (manually
reading thru - 1/3 of the way done, maybe there's a better way to scan
these?).
thx
