I have installed BSD version 2.1 and am able to read the data stored on an 8mm tape in tar format. I need to pass the data to a dos filesystem where it can be processed and sent to a tester via a Pathworks network to a VAX. Copying the files to the DOS formatted partition via : "cp filename /dev/sd0s2" seems to be executing but the DOS programs do not see the data . In fact ,it wipes out the known dos files on the partition. I have used LINUX to do this sucessfully but I have had other problems with it using the tar command with the same 8mm tape drive. I have run out of ideas on what to try next and would appreciate any assistance you can offer. Fred Bens email address : navell@ix.netcom.com
