There is a "630 Software Development Package" with PEC code 1331-565.
My source (catalog) didn't say whether it's for 3B2 or 6386 or both.

Nope, I tried that. The 3B series use a different format.
Tapes must be formatted first, and then one can create file systems on them
or use a special cpio and such.

The 6386 uses the more common Qic-11 stuff I believe. Tapes are compatible
with Sun's (using /dev/rst8 on the Sun).
