If you still have the tape which has broken, and didn't destroy it with 
the fiery hate of rage that could reasonably consume someone at such a 
point, it may be possible to repair the tape itself.  I am not with in 
2,500 miles of said tape, nor do I posses the experience to repair it, 
but my father does meet both of those previous requirements.  If you 
haven't found anyone with SunOS on QIC-150 tape, and still have the 
original tape, shoot me an email off list and I'll see if I can put the 
two of you together.  I'll expect to hear from you soon.  :)
