There is a program that HP wrote for the HP9000/800 series (running HPUX)
that emulates block mode on there.  I would imagine that one could port
it over without a great deal of difficulty.  It's written in C.  The 
program should be available from your local HP office or can be obtained
from Interex (The International Hewlett Packard Users Group) in their
contributed software library (requires membership to obtain the library).
The program is called blockterm.
