from dos dir a: to similar to a dds tape?

is it possible to see what is in a dds tape?
like in dos, we can write dir a: to see the contents of it?

thanks

PS : actually, i came from a DOS background. so most of the time, i will try to relate unix to dos. of course, dos never came close to unix. but unix is like many instances of dos running, can i say that? anyway, what should i be beware when doing this dos to unix knowledge transfer.. thanks

dos like commands

use the command

"lsdir a:" in sco-unix

"mdir a:" in dec-alpha unix

or reply to this with your unix/linux version...
so that I can give you the exact command syntax...

If there is a tar archive on the DDS tape you can list the contents my using `tar -t` option.

As for the a: drive, you should be able to mount a floppy drive like any other filesystem. Under OpenBSD the floppy drive is /dev/fd0.
