	having a Wangtek 5150es (its the scsi version). I have made
DC600A tapes on it without a hitch! Forget those DC300XLs! Those wont
write (never tried a read). if the tapes are DC600s you should not
have a problem. PROVINDING that the restore software is the same type
as on the SUN. If the sun used dump. use dump to read em back. if tar
use tar. if it was cpio, try the gnu cpio.
