Apollos can read Sun cartridge tapes IF (and only if) they are
written in the correct density. Some of the Suns have two 
different device files for the cartridge tape (/dev/rst0 and
/dev/rst8, if I remember correctly). The device with the lower
number write a low density (QIC-11) tape and the one with the
higher number writes a high density (QIC-24) tape which the
Apollos can read.
