I'll detail a bit better the situation as I know it: 1. The tapes were written on a Sun box. (FWIW, they're Solar Magnetogram data from the Mees Solar Observatory in Hawaii. I don't mean to sound proprietary, I'm assuredly not.) I can't say as to whether it's SunOS or Solaris, though I could find out Monday. The tapes are old and already written with partial block writes. 2. The tapes were read on my FreeBSD box, using an old Exabyte drive on my NCR controller. I'm not near the machine right now or I'd play with this stuff a bit. BUT the guy who needs the data is near there, I'll have him fiddle with this next week. Brian
