You should have received the instructions to install from the two tapes. The
two A/UX demo tapes distributed by A/UX Technical Resources contain many
third-party Macintosh/UNIX applications (approximately 80MB). Most of these
files are compressed tar format.
The instructions describe in great detail the contents of the tapes, how much
space is required, and how to extract files. We would suggest that you get the
instructions before trying to extract any files.
In general, instead of "/dev/dsk/", you should use something like "/dev/rmt/tc
". All logical tape units are stored in the /dev/rmt directory. Also, since
the Apple 40SC Tape Driver has an 8K buffer boundary in the kernel, you need to
state a block factor option in the "tar" command.
