We haven't had any trouble with tar on a Tower 32/650 to and from itself
and the few times that we tried to tar to and from other machines (Suns) the
problems were related either to byte swapping or incompatible tape density
(QIC-150 vs QIC-24).  We've been bitten by the QIC-150 to QIC-24 problem on
Sun to Sun tar's also.
