[comp.sys.amiga.programmer] reading Sun Sparc floppies

aslam@sp63.csrd.uiuc.edu (Sohail Aslam) (03/07/91)

The Sun Sparcstation comes with 3.5" floppy drive. This can be used
to write files to the floppy using the unix tar command, for example:

	sun> tar cvf /dev/fd *

The floppy is formatted using the SunOS "fdformat" command. Does any
one have a program for the amiga that can read such a tar from a
floppy? 

This is for a friend; please pardon me if this a FAQ. Please reply
directly to me via e-mail.

Thanks,
