See if you can spot the RT-11 file system in there.
Aha, is the console tape supposed to be in RT-11 format? That's something I can look for.
My home-grown RT-11 filesystem finagling utility barfed on my "suspected good"
raw image, but that could very well be a bug in my own code. I'll dig in with a hex
editor tonight and look for the filesystem header blocks.
I definitely know that this is the case for the VAX-11/78x and VAX-86x0
machines. And you use EXCHANGE to access the files.
I haven't properly looked at the 11/750, 11/730 or 11/725, but I don't
think EXCHANGE understands anything else but the RT-11 filesystem. As
far as I know, that was EXCHANGE existed for. It might be able to read
DOS-11 tapes as well. (If we talk about pure 1/2" magtape.)
