Yes and no. There is the TA11 Magnetic Tape Cassette System, which used the TU60 Dual DECasette Transport (I need to create a page for that in the CHWiki), but it uses a special controller card, the TA11 Magnetic Tape Cassette controller: https://gunkies.org/wiki/TA11_Magnetic_Tape_Cassette_controller There is a small cheap tape system which used a stock serial interface to talk to the computer, the TU58, but those used DECtpe-II cartridges, not standard casettes.
