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?
