Can't I just
stick in a SCSI controller and use something like ODS2 to read the SCSI
drive and put them into the new container? Thinking of using (probably)
XP or Windows7.
This is trivially easy with a Unix type operating system. Put the SCSI drive on, "dd
if=/dev/sd0 of=diskimage.dsk".
You don't want any interpretation applied to turn the ODS-2 filesystem already on the
disk into a bunch of Windows files. You want the whole disk as a bunch of contiguous
blocks, nothing else.

And if you want to stick with OpenVMS, BACKUP/PHYSICAL is your friend. Or use LDDRIVER of
course.
