[comp.sys.apollo] Trouble with output to /dev/rct8

Is there any reason why the following stream output to /dev/rct8 won't work:

catf  foo.file >/dev/rct8

It fails quite rapidly, and EOF's the shell pad.  (this is the simplest way
to reproduce the problem.  Actually I'm trying to ftp to /dev/rct8, seems to
fail about the same.)
Yes I did try /dev/rct12.  If I can catf FROM the cartridge tape, why can't
I catf TO the cartridge tape.
Running Domain V10.2, on a DN3500.

Thanks in advance,
