Just about every 60MB cartridge tape available for any 386 unix system is
compatable with the sun drive if you use the /dev/rst8 device on the sun
system. I have transferred zillions of files to and from sun machines from
several different 386 boxes.
What you need is QIC-24 format. This is the standard 60MB format.
