If you can write a tape that the sun can read, then the sun has a
different tape drive.  It probably is about double the capacity of your
tape drive, and writes a much thinner track of information (because it
has double the number of tracks).  I have been able to read tapes made
on a sun, but I had verified that the sun had a 60 meg drive.
