[comp.os.vms] Reading VMS MO's under UNIX

   Here's a little problem I'd like to solve.  I have a Sony opto-magnetic
drive (Pinnacle REO-650) on a Sun UNIX computer.  Also at this site
we have the same drives on VMS machines.  I would like to be able to take
a disk that was written on one of the VMS machines, pop it in the drive on
my UNIX machine and get at the files.  I realize that I could not just
mount the disk because the file-systems would be different.

  Has anyone ever tackled this problem?  Where would I start?  Any ideas
would be appreciated.
