I hope someone can provide some suggestions on my problem.
I'm trying to read some catridge tapes created (tar or dd format) from SUN or SGI onto an ancient AT&T Unix System V/386 Rel 3.2 machine. But everything I tried to read in the tape on the AT&T machine there is this error message "iSBC224a controller 0 tape 0 (No Data Detected)".
The command "dd if=/dev/rmt0 conv=swab | tar xvf -" produces the same error message but I have no problem to read in tapes using the same command lin the other way round (AT&T to SGI or SUN). I'm using the correct media tape. I'm running out of idea on what to do next.
The last idea I have is to put the AT&T machine on the same network as the SGI or SUN but setting up network of this AT&T is a bit complicated since it is not using TCP. Unless someone can guide me.
Thanks in advance.
