Oddly I recived 4 replys before the question came back to me in e-mail.
The suggestions are
tapex,
dd if=/dev/mem of=/dev/rmt0h,
get a big magnet,
mt rewind ; mt eof ; mt rewind
Thanks goto (in no real order)
Don Newcomer, Stephen Carpenter, Jim R Jones, Whitney Latta, Paul Mercure, Dr.
Tom Blinn, and Kris Larsen,
Thank you for your time.
I think I might look to our VMS machine and do a init /erase and see where
that gets me.
