You need to put file marks between everything logically 'dd'-ed

In the .tap format, file marks are four bytes of 0.
End of tape should have two sets of file marks (eight bytes of 0)

FWIW, I sent warren a .tap image of Ultrix 2.0. Never heard anything from
him about it.

Sorry Al, it's been on the pile of things to do :-(
What's the copyright/release status of Ultrix 2.0?

Hmm, I could create that file by "dd if=/dev/zero of=filesep bs=1
count=4" and then insert one copy of filesep between every tape file
and put two at the end. If it works, I'll post the script in
gratitude. Thanks.

Hmm, it doesn't seem to work. I run the following script:

# This shell script builds a full ULTRIX-11 V3.1 master
# distribution tape on a TK50 boot tape image. It
# is based on a tape dump provided by Wilko Bulte, and
# maintains all original files.
#
# Author: Fred N. van Kempen <fred at microwalt.nl>
#         ... with the support of many, now and in the past.
# Modified by: Michael "Madcrow" Kerpan <madcrow.maxwell at gmail.com>
#
#
# Several of the included tools were either developed by
# others trying to read or create tapes, or come from the
# ULTRIX-11 source distribution kit.

TAPE=./ultrix-3.1.tk50

  echo Creating ULTRIX-11 V3.1 Master Distribution on TK50.
  echo "----------------------------------------------------"
  echo ""

  if [ ! -f ./maketape ]; then
        echo Compiling MAKETAPE tool...
        gcc -o ./maketape src/maketape.c
  fi

  if [ ! -f ./tdtk50.bv ]; then
        echo 'Generating the Tape Definition file (for TK50)...'
        cp src/tdtk50.bv ./tdtk50.bv
  fi

  if [ ! -f ./filesep ]; then
        echo 'Generating the Tape File Seperator...'
        dd if=/dev/zero of=./filesep bs=1 count=4
  fi

  # Create the first tape file with uboot, boot and /sas.
  echo Creating boot record on tape...
  ./maketape ./step1 ./tdtk50.bv

  # Add the rest of the tape stuff and create the final image
  echo Generating tape image
  cat ./step1 ./filesep fs/md-sas.dsk ./filesep data/file14 ./filesep
data/file15 ./filesep data/file16 ./filesep data/file17 ./filesep
data/file18 ./filesep data/file19 ./filesep data/file20 ./filesep

data/file30 ./filesep data/file31 ./filesep data/file32 ./filesep
data/file33 ./filesep data/file34 ./filesep data/file35 ./filesep
./filesep > $TAPE




  echo ""
  echo "---------------------------------------"
  echo All done !

and get a file of 37939812 bytes, but when I try to boot it in SIMH I
get the same error as before. Could the tape header and initial
records as generated by "maketape" be faulty? The step1 file generated
by maketape is only 45568 bytes and I get the following warnings from
gcc (version 4.1.0) during the maketape compile:

src/maketape.c: In function 'main':
src/maketape.c:28: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of
built-in function 'exit'
src/maketape.c:32: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of
built-in function 'exit'
src/maketape.c:36: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of
built-in function 'exit'
src/maketape.c:43: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of
built-in function 'exit'
src/maketape.c:73: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type

Any help would be much appreciated.

what system are you using to write the tape ?

I'm using SuSE Linux 10.1 to build the tape image.
