sorry for answering by myself, the problem is solved without using cat
but instead using tar to unpack tar archive directly from /dev/st0

Hi!
I am having problems while reading from dds tape device.
I use the same procedure that works on knoppix linux live distro.
I am setting block size
mt -f /dev/st0 setblk 10240
and then try to read from the device with cat
cat /dev/nst0 > file.tar
and I get a message like
cat: /dev/nst0: Bad address
I have mt V2.3, Corinna Vinschen, Apr 19 2004
latest cygwin
Any ideas what is wrong with it ?
