   I have been trying to extract Landsat satellite image data 
   from an 8mm tape that originated from a company called
    EOSAT. I am using am using a SGI R4000 and IRIX release 
   4.0.5. I have had no success using TAR, Restore, BRU
   or CPIO. There should be several separate files on tape; an
   ascii header and then possibly a number of (I think) binary 
   files (possibly each with their own header file).

Try ansitape.  I know that DTED & DFAD tapes from DMA are stored
in that format (like on a vax - yuck!).  I think you also will
need to use /dev/tapens.  ansitape came with my 4.0.5 but don't
know which subsystem (eoe[12].whatever).

Hope that solves your problem.
