I've got NS3.3 on an HP 712/60 with 128mb and it is definitely peppy, when compared to my TC slab. I'm not sure if it runs better than my SS20 at 75mhz and SX graphics.

I picked up a VAXstation 3100 with a tk50 tape drive and 10 tapes. They appear to be ULTRIX and VMS installs and software. I'd like to backup these tapes so if they become damaged the software isn't lost. Does anyone have experience doing this or similar?

I know nothing about tapes. I have access to a PC with Linux and SCSI that I could hook the tape drive to. Could I just do a dd from the drive? I tried mt and tar commands but they appear to not be tar archives.

Ideally I'd be able to convert the OS install tapes to CDROM install media.

Thanks for all the help. Unfortunately it's all for naught, the tk50 drive is giving me the rapid red blinking of death, and no amount dust-off seems to help. I've got the thing taken apart and have been blasting it with compressed air hoping it will pass the self-test, but nothing so far. Maybe some else on the forum would like to take this task on?
