I know that RSX-11M works on DECtape, at least in the form of RSX-20F, the
variant used on the 11/40 front end processor in the KL-10 based Decsystem-10
and DECSYSTEM-20 systems.

On the theory that you only know PDP-11 OSes, I'll point out that both OS/8 and
TSS-8 work perfectly well with DECtape, and I have been told by more than one
of the people involved in the incident that at least one disk emergency required
that DECtape be used as the swapping device on a KA-10 based PDP-10 system.
