You can always dd the whole tape into a file and search for the cpio sources
within the tape image.  I believe SysV cpio doesn't instantly work on 4.2
but it's not hard to fix.

Now wouldn't it have been nice if Sys V source tapes put cpio.c on the front?
(As the first file dumped in the cpio file containing all the sources.)

Of course if they'd wanted to be really nice they'd have used tar instead...
