There are several programs that will convert a tape to AWS format files. You yourself can create these files and simply write them to CD or DVD or any other medium after transferring them to a PC. AWS is a standard format that is handled by Flex-ES, P/390 and Hercules. You could legally have a Hercules system running MVS 3.8 that you can use to access the data on these tapes, if only just to read and print it.
