Well there's that option too. I think I only paid $25 for a complete
VAX 4000-500 with a DSSI capable KA680 CPU, but then I did have to pay
for delivery since it wasn't local and that wasn't cheap, but worth it
for the CQD-223 SCSI card the system also contained.
But anyway, seems like somewhat overkill if the real goal is simply to
read a single tape. Maybe someone local to the OP has a tape drive
that might do the trick.
