Subject:   Reading an Archive that was created on DEC.

I am trouble reading the archive that was made on the DEC AlphaServer 1000
which had a DEC proprietary tape drive.  The tape is a 4mm DAT and I am
trying to read from a Sony 5000 Tape drive.

When I made backup, I used 'tar -cv /*'.  I tried to list the archive using
'tar -t' and I get a block size error. 

How does block size effect between different drives.  I do not remember the
block size when I created an archive.
