I have been given a Colorado T1000 floppy tape drive. I installed it in
my machine and inserted a QIC-80 tape. When I boot the tape reads but
when I give the command lft I get a message
	/dev/rft0 Not Configured
What do I need to do to get the system to configure the drive?
Does lft work as is with 425 ft tapes?

Thanks
