Hello!  I have a Conner 3.2GB tape backup and am running 2.1.6.  I am
trying to use either ft or dump with it, but I keep getting
   ... /kernel: fdc0: input ready timeout
errors.  I have it configured in the kernel even with the flags 0x1 and
it detects the drive at bootup.  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help!
