We have installed a Conner 700/850 MB Internal Floppy Minicartridge
tape drive in our PC running FreeBSD 2.0.5R.  The kernel can
recognise it as `ft0: Conner tape'.  But when we try to access ft0:

$ mt -f /dev/ft0 status
fdc0: output ready timeout
fdc0: input ready timeout
fdc0: input ready timeout
mt: Device not configured
fdc0: output ready timeout
fdc0: input ready timeout
fdc0: input ready timeout

Is there anything we can do to fix this?


Thanks and Regards


Eddie
