If the tape has data on it, is is most likely in VMS BACKUP format. You may be able to list the contents with something like: $ BACKUP /NOASSIST /LIST MUA0: /REWIND You might be able to unload the tape with: $ DISMOUNT /UNLOAD MUA0: but you would have to successfully mount it first, either explicitly with something like: $ MOUNT /NOASSIST /FOREIGN MUA0: or implicitly by using the BACKUP /LIST command above.
