The standard SunOS comand to move the tape is
mt -f /dev/nrst0 rew
mt -f /dev/nrst0 fsf 1
You need to use the non-rewinding device, /dev/nrst0, not /dev/rst0 which
rewinds the tape automatically.
Then you might try either
tar tvfb /dev/nrst0 20b
or dd if=/dev/nrst0 of=dd.out.file bs=20b
Trying to recall what the format of the files on the sun
tape were. Humm.... Wonder if I still have my copy tape script....
Rummage around with find... found it.
It is attached at the end. A pretty stupid script now that I look at it.
But it did the trick to copy tapes from disk dd images. I leave it as
an excersize to write the script to copy the tape to disk. BTW, the tapes
were only 20 Mb in those days.
Hope this helps

I am looking for a Sun2 Mutlibus SCSI board, no cables. Will give it a good
home, pay money (some), or trade for other Sun2 Mutlibus stuff. If you need
Sun2 Mutlibus boards I have some spares. Drop a request.
Thanks in advance

Speaking of 4.1.1 bits, I have a 4.1 tape for the early sun4 machines
that has bad spots in the usr file system and beyond on Tape 1 of 2.
Up to that point (the first 6 files) tape 1 is fine, and tape 2 is fine.
Anyone have the usr tarballs and later from a sun4 sunos 4.1 tape 1
that I could use to rewrite my tape? Right now I a using bits from
the 4.1.1 CD, but it would be nice to have the original 4.1 files
so that I could fully rewrite the tape with the correct bits. What I
would like to do is pull the reels out of a good fresh tape, and
put them into the Sun badged cartridge, and rewrite it. My 4/260
box would be much appreciative, for the long haul.
Any suggestions or leads to the mystical files are appreciated.
Is there a tally of how many of us are doing the old vme sun bit?
I run 3 12-slot boxes and 1 3-slot box, with 3/110, 3/160, 3/200,
4/110, 4/260 configurations, depending upon how the boards are swapped
on any given day.
Yeah, I know, it ain't one of our treasured PDP-11 toyz, but it a lot
easier to find in the dustbins here and there.....(:+}}...
