If you just took the HP cartridge and put it in a Sun cartridge tape drive, that would explain why you couldn't read the tape. The HP and Sun formats are completely incompatible. I think the HP tape may even move in the opposite direction than the Sun one, but as I've only played with a HP tape drive for a few hours, I'm not 100% sure of that. -Steve Spoken: Steve Miller Domain: steve@mimsy.umd.edu UUCP: uunet!mimsy!steve Phone: +1-301-454-1808 USPS: UMIACS, Univ. of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742
