Back in the early 1990s, a bank would generate a SWIFT transaction tape
on their mainframe, and it would be read by a VAX. Every day. Worked.

When this was upgraded to have the SNA gateway (to eliminate the tape
handling), the SNA software supplied by DEC for the mainframe came on a
tape produced by DEC and the IBM mainframe was able to read it.

This was back in the 9 track tape era.
