https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/hp-ux-floppy-problems/m-p/3455997#M209409 Problem solved, I did try to mount but in looking at the command history I had c1t1d0 instead of c0t0d0 as the device file. Thanks for making me look.

The floppy disk says that it’s a TAR(UNIX format), but when I do a tar -tvf /dev/floppy/c1t1d0 I get an error: <BR />tar: cannot open /dev/floppy/c1t1d0<BR /><BR />I also get the same error when I tar to a blank floppy, the tar -cvf works but I cannot read off of the floppy. Is there different commands or different device drivers I should be using?
