Then you could use dd to copy the raw file. On the other hand, if you can find that out, you would probably just untar the file :) Just a thought, if you tar xpv /dev/rfd0, what happens? When I heard about the accident last week, I wondered about this. The f switch tells tar to use a file rather than a device, so this might work. Speaking of what happened last week, how did you get the floppy out of the drive in the end?
