I'll assume you mean Control Data NOS running on Cybers.
If your Unix machine has a 9-track tape drive, you can transfer files
with that.  If you have control over writing the tape on the NOS side,
use some sort of blocking utility (every site does it differently) to
make things easy on yourself (or dd(1)) on the Unix side.  If you can't
control how the tapes are written, it's still possible, but a lot more
work (we'll talk).
