I thought this sort of thing was what the various target-mode SCSI
frameworks were designed for? I seem to remember at least one of them
had emulated tape drives backed by files.

Something new:

but no price listed.
Not targeted at the classic computing hobbyist, so probably going to be
expensive.

Maybe a google search will turn up something.

Don't tape emulator boxes already exist, both for SCSI and Pertec
interfaces? It seems to me that I've seen a few.

Did anybody try if it works on a VAX?
The SCSI2SD is the only one whioch I didn't try, now the newer version
is out, and should even be faster. But didn't have the time to try.

Folks,
I am "playing" with a small VAX and want to install software onto it, some
of which are in SIMH ".tap" format files. I was thinking it would be nice to
have a SCSI Tape emulator that worked a bit like the USB floppy emulators
that are about.
