We've got a Tektronix 4051 with the optional Data

of tape cartridges. As the belts in the Scotch/3M DC300 tapes are worn out
or torn I need to copy the contents 1:1 to other media. But how?
The simplest would be to write a simple BASIC program that will read in
each tape file and send it over V.24 (and back again for new media).
If the belts are worn or torn in the cartridge, how is a BASIC program
going to help? I think at that point you need to somehow mechanically
move the tape over a read head after you've removed the tape from the
cartridge or somehow replace the belt in the cartridge.
