If the tape drive is external, then it must have an external connector 
and the VAX has one as well so all you need is the proper cable.  If it 
is internal, then would it be possible to open up the VAX and put it 
inside?  (Would probably only make sense if the form factor is such that 
you can access it through the front panel of the VAX.)
