I had one of these back in 1978ish. I remember that the coding was ASCII, but “inverted” i.e. mark and space were reversed. Not sure if yours is the same.
Good luck.

Ok, started playing with the SIMH vax8600 simulator and OpenVMS 7.3
Hobbyist.
I know they discontinued the hobbyist license program years ago, but does
one actually need a license to run it? Or would an older version like 5.x
or something be better? The OpenVMS community license is only for Alpha,
Itanium and some x86_64 architectures so I'm sure that wouldn't work in a
simulated VAX?
