How do I read IBM tapes with UNIX ?

Wed May 1 13:17:48 AEST 1985

Does anyone know how to read from and write to IBM tapes (from a system 38)
with a Perkin-Elmer running UNIX version 7?
The IBM rep said that the tapes are "standard IBM format, un-labeled
(labeling is optionaly available), 1600 bpi, 8-track."
Any and all advice is appreciated.
Thanks.
