Has anyone been able to read a Sparcstation floppy written in tar format, onto a PC? I tried using the PDTAR from SIMTEL20, but it seems to only be able to read the first few files and then goes off in a loop never to return. (i used "tar xviVS b: 1440").

Try to use the tar.exe in PAX.ARC (also from SIMTEL, pd1:<msdos.filutl>) I have been using that to transfer files between SPARC-1 and IBMPC without any problems. Ping-san.
