It has all of the 'Berkeley' programs.  And seems to work fairly well with
both Suns and IBM RTs.

Both dump and restore exist and are similar to the AIX 2.2.1 versions, but
some of the arguments are different.

Marg> Do they support 150 MB QIC-150 cartridge drives ? What about Exabyte drives ?

The one I have came with a 150MB QIC tape, but it is written in a format
that does not appear to be compatible with other 150MB drives.
