Hi gurus,

Thanks to:
dersmythe
Bob
Hurtin Bertrand
Ric Anderson
Roy Vosberg
Bill R. Williams

Hurtin Actually hit the nail...

The solution is:
dd if=/dev/rmt/0 bs=256k |tar tvf -

And the way to realise if you need to use the conv=swab or not is:
dd if=/dev/rmt/0 bs=256k count=1 of=/tmp/file
and then file /tmp/file

I should have known that...

Anyway, THANKS A LOT!!

Pablo.-
