What format is the field DAT RefTek tape written in?

0

The field DAT tapes written by the RefTek have 3 files on them. The first two are 1024 byte files that simulate the Sun and Reftek Disk labels. The third file contains the RefTek packets blocked out at 1024 bytes. It is necessary to use the -t option to access this data using the PASSCAL programs ref2segy, ref2tab, refpacket, or ref2log. The -t option will skip the first two files on the tape and read the data from the third.
