I doubt that Posix dd with easily handle the verying record lengths
as well as the tape marks on a store tape (but I have not tried it).

You definitely could use Keven Miller's enhanced TapeCOPY on Jazz to
create a Store-To-Disk compatible disk file from a store tape or DDS.
This was the way to go before Store-to-Disk was released as a patch.
