[ale] 8mm Sun Tar on tape

[dhamm at itserve.com (David Hamm)]

I have an 8mm tape that is supposed to be a tar from a Sun system.  When I run
"mt -f /dev/st1 status" it tells me that the block size is 1024 so I use the
following command to read the tap, "tar -b 2 -tf /dev/st1" but I still get a
tape read error.  Any suggestions?
