[ale] 4mm problem.

[Robert L. Harris]

Got a good one for you guru's...

I just left my old company.  Before I left I backed up my home dir on a
4mm drive from a SGI Indy.

I have a 4mm at home on my PC and want to recover the data.  When I do a
"dd conv=swab if=/dev/st0 | tar -xvf - <filename>"   I get an "Incorrect
Block Size".  Anyone have any clues as to how to remedy this?  I tried
setting ibs to different values but that is either wrong or I couldn't
get the right value.
