Subject: How to convert a MP/M tape to UNIX?

Hello netlanders,

I'm having a bit trouble converting a tape written on a
PHILIPS P3800 Turbo-DOS (MP/M) system to a more familiar format
like tar.

The tape has been written using the "savestr" command on the MP/M 
system. I don't know if this is a standard MP/M command, but it gives
the possibility to write a disk partition to 1/4" tape.
I don't have any more information on this command or the format of the
data.

I want to read the tape onto my SUN. I do get data off the tape, but not
in any understandable format.

So I am looking for a MP/M utility to write a tape in a known format, or
for a UNIX utility to read the tape and convert it.
If there is no such utility I have to use 5.25" floppies and I will need
one of the utilities I have been reading about in this newsgroup like 
22DISK.

Is there a ftp site where I can get me a copy of 22DISK?

Any HELP appreciated.

TIA and regards,

Ad Dijkhoff (add@ce.philips.nl)
