Greetings to all,

I finally got the Sun 411 (Archive Viper 150) hooked 
up to my PC with a $45 cable (mini to full Centronics).
Thanks to many of your helps. Here is another question, 
when I got to NetBSD and try "tar", 

tar -tf /dev/st0

it gives me a bunch of errors:

st0: illegal request
st0: mode select failed
st0: illegal request
tar: read error on /dev/st0: invalid argument

Any idea/help on this is much welcome.
thanks,
kb
