I have tried 20k; this should be the same as the Sun. You may need to use dd if=/dev/rst0 conv=swab | <archiver> instead of trying to extract directly from tape. SPARC chips and Intel chips have different byte orders. This is especially relevent if you don't use the 'a' (ASCII) and 'c' (CHARACTER) cpio options as religious defaults, for instance.
