Reading/writing IBM 9 track tapes under UNIX

[Doug]

We have a 9 track tape drive made by Qualstar.  It is attached to a 386
PC running System V Release 3.2.2.  We have been given a 9 track tape
written on an IBM 3090 in something called "IBM Labeled" format.  It also
says LRECL=1024 and BLKSIZE=1024 on the label.  No combination of dd
options produced meaningful input.  Does anyone know how to read/write
these tapes under UNIX?

Thanks for any help!
