Has anyone tried to read SGI tapes on a SUN? I have an SG with high density tape drive (QIC-150?) and a friend of mine would like to read tapes from it on a SUN. Is it possible using a combination of 'dd' and 'tar' (I read SUN tapes this way)? Also what hardware is needed on the SUN (ie does the SUN need a special QIC-xxx tape drive)? I would appreciate hearing the hows and whys of this problem. Thanks in advance... Boyd Knosp Email:knosp@umaxc.weeg.uiowa.edu
