From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: harker@harker.com (Robert Harker, 408-295-9432) Date: Wed, 5 May 1999 15:53:47 -0700 (PDT) Subject: UNIX Heritage Society Digest V1 #78 Message-ID: <199905052253.PAA23398@harker.harker.com> 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.

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.....(:+}}... Bob Keys
