We have a 3.5" floppy written by tar on a SCO Xenix machine. We want to read this on a Sparcstation but when we use the command tar xvf /dev/fd0 nothing happens. Is it possible to read this disk, and if so, what's the proper command? Better yet, where is the Sparcstation floppy drive explained in the manuals?
