Even if it is possible, the performance would be abysmal as the access
to blocks on the tape is sequential, not random. You may want to find a
disk with empty space to restore it to.

There was only ever one tape subsystem that *I* knew of that allowed

I don't think you can. However, if it contains a tar archive, you can
just to tar tf /tape/drive file and browse the file.
