9-track tape

[Timothy Swenson]

We have recently installed a 9-track tape drive in a Sun 3/280.  No one
here has ever used a 9-track tape.  The person that ordered it has move
on.  It looks like we may need the 9-track to read data from other
computers.  I need to know if any one knows of a good book/manual that
covers 9-track taps and the various formats for computers, ie blocking
factors, etc.  I would appreciate any info that I can get.  Thanks in
advance.
