DEC VAX VMS & Open VMS





DISC can convert nearly all VMS tapes.
   DISC has made VAX VMS conversions a priority since the 1980s and we have converted hundreds of thousands of VMS files. Our VAX infrastructure allows us to support nearly all VAX tape drives.

   We thoroughly understand the many VMS file types, and we know how to convert them to PC files correctly. We don't just do a blind transfer -- we take the time to inspect the RMS parameters of each file, and configure the conversion settings properly for that file type. The converted files are reviewed by a programmer and scanned using programs we have written to detect and correct problems before they get back to you.
