Ah, this brings up another question: Would I be able to dump VMS TK50 tapes to image files somehow under RT11? Once I have my PDP-11/03 working reliably with a SCSI card and SCSI2SD or something similar, maybe that would be a more convenient system for imaging the tapes, assuming RT11 can do what's necessary.
