VMS have never supported DECtape, as far as I know...

  Not officially, but there was a driver in DECUS.   Sorry, I don't have it
though.

  Of course the only way to connect a TU56 to a real VAX would be to have a
VAX model that supported a UBA (e.g. VAX-11/7xx, VAX-82/3xx, 86xx, and maybe
one or two others) and a TC11.

  There wasn't a big demand for such a setup :-)
