Ok I managed to get it to read the tape... but it didn't get very far once I told it to install every package on the tape. I think you have to rename each blob to blob.cpio according to index.tape's entries if you want anything to happen ... and there's a few of those cpio files that appear to be corrupted (I did a manual cpio of the various blobs within an already working AMIX 2.1p2a install to check). Hopefully it's the non critical stuff, like gnu sources. Here goes... Thanks again Toni!

EDIT: Confirmed, the install completes although some packages are definitely corrupted somehow. Unfortunately amigasrc seems to be among them... I'll see what I can do now I've succeeded in doing a tape install. This is SO retro and cool!
