I made a tape of my DOS files on an AT&T PC 6300 using the ATT_TAPE software
(I think that is the name of the software package) Version 1.0.
I now want to read them on my Interactive UNIX system using VPIX.
My tape drive is capable of reading this tape. I know this becase under UNIX
I can do a: `dd if=/dev/tape of=/tmp/foo` and using `fm` I can see valid file
names and data in file /tmp/foo. FYI the tape drive is an Archive 2150S hung
off a Adaptec 1542B SCSI HA.

Since the tape.exe software does not seem to support this driver/tape
configuration I am probably stuck trying to load the tape with `dd` and 
unscramble the resulting file. Anybody know the format of the data on the
tape?
Is there any easier way to do this?
The first person to mail me a good working solution wins some Swiss Chocolate!

Too many rules, and almost as many exceptions to those rules.
