If the tape was made on an HP drive, forget it.  You cannot read this tape
on a Sun.  The low level format is different.    You need to find an HP on
a network with a Sun or one that has a nine track tape as well as the 1/4
inch cartridge (assuming that you can also find a Sun with a nine track
tape).
