Multiple cpio/tar files on Apple Tape

[Jerry LeVan]

Hello,
Has anyone out there used the Apple Tape Cartridge to store
multiple tar/cpio file archives? It is clear that the "norewind"
device must be used, but does the tape driver write and eof mark?
Should the "mt" command be used to write eof marks after each
archive? Is there any way to determine how many archives are stored
on the tape...

Thanks...Jerry
