Well, I think it is my SIMH2MTD converter that is the problem. I padded writes
to a WORD (2-byte) boundary. MTD is expecting padding to a 4-byte boundary --
and it is pickier than TAPELOOK! (I added reading MTD images in TAPELOOK and
then used the same login in SIMH2MTD -- sort of).
I'll get back to you.

It turns out the debugging output is written to Fortran unit 3, not to the
terminal (I don't remember why). So it is in a file called FOR003.DAT. You
probably have one too.
The error is the first "DKGET":
---> Enter DKGET ( 1,indx,isize,eof,ierr)
---> 67 = DKGET (fcb(LUN), 1, 2062, F, 67)
Now I have to figure out why.

I hacked MTD to allow the NL: device instead of a tape drive. I'm getting the
same error you did:
BAKER TONGA> mtd [-.SIMH2MTD.MTD_TAPE_IMAGES]RSTSE_V10_1_INSTALL_SEP10_1992.MTD
nl:/noappend
MTD -- Begin transfer.
MTD -- Error reading disk file.
Now at least I can figure out why.

My tape drive appears to be malfunctioning.

Your command is different -- last time you had /noappend.
Oops. Anyways I narrowed the problem down the tape drive being funny.

I uploaded mtd_debug.exe to our ftp site. Rename the original mtd_save.exe,
then rename mtd_debug.exe to mtd.exe and try agin. Maybe that will give us a
clue.
MOYA::CSMELOSKY$ mtd rsts-conv.tap mua0:
MTD -- Begin transfer.
MTD -- Error spacing files.
Different!
