Hi all,

I have a 1995 8mm 112M tape I am assured is a dump tape. I have no other
details. I assume it was written on a Sun4OS. I have had no luck reading
this tape on my Exabyte EXB-8500 installed on my Solaris9 Ultra 10. The best
response to all that I have tried is:

ufsrestore ibf 126 /dev/rmt/0n
 Read error while trying to set up volume
 Continue? [yn] y
 Volume is not in dump format

Any ideas?

Also I have a tar format 8mm tape of the same data set but that has not proved
readable either.
