i'm trying to TAR to DLT using Cygwin. I'm using the command -b 512, but for
some reason, the Tape will max out at 128bytes. If I use a Windows based TAR
program it works fine at 512. Any suggestions? Thanks

I don't know the Windows tar, but the Cygwin tar (correctly) doesn't
set the buffer size used by the underlying tape driver. Try using mt(1)
to set the buffer size in the driver before calling tar.
