restore amanda dumps from dead linux machine to solaris 9

I used Amanda for years, with an old PC running Linux as a tape hostand server. I backed up two or three other machines, (a cobalt serverand a Mac OS X server, using it). It died! I don't have another Linuxmachine - I put together an old (1994 state of the art) Sparc 10 andmanaged to get a tape drive hooked up. I installed Amanda using thepackaged version at blastwave.org (I'd have some issues getting gccto work on my SparcStation).

I was having the usual set up issues with files, permissions, excludelists, tar versions, when I thought it would be good to go over how Ihad it set up previously. While I have no problem dumping the fileson the solaris machine; I can't seem to figure out what is in them.Except for a few text characters on the tape label I'm stumped. thedd command works as expected. I don't remember the order, etc and Idon't have the output from any of the jobs which would have told mewhat partitions from what machines where on which files on the tape.I have two versions of tar ( one from blastwave which is GNU tar1.15.1) and one from the install of Solaris. I don't know whichversion I was using for the tapes. Also, I don't have a machine thatcan run a Linux Dump or Restore as Solaris has ufsrestore.

So is there a way for me to figure out what is on the tape andrestore the Linux partition where I previously had Amanda installed?
