The 'dd' usage I provided has nothing to do with tape images, only copying
raw disk images.
Personally after a bit of actual usage of the 11/44 to do builds and patching
in situ, I gave up. Just too slow. So I went back to an emulated 11/44 in SIMH
and did all the patching and sysgens there. Is is at least 10X-20X faster doing
all the work on a PC and copying the completed disk images over to the 11/44 at
the end.

I used maketape.c instead of the dd instructions, and that worked perfectly.
Thanks everyone for the help!
