You may want to try vmscd which is able to read any ODS-2 formatted volume,
either on CD-ROM or disk, despite its name. You do not need to mount anything
with that, just call it specifying the device containing the ODS-2 volume:

$ vmscd -d /dev/dsk/c6t0d0

Switches and commands are explained into the man page. The package can be
found on http://www.suse.de/~kkaempf/vmscd/ or many other sites. It's in
source form, so it may be built even on Unixes other than Linux.

HTH :)
