This config doesn't work for me. I get lots of >input in output errors and the tape isn't found. I've just got the April snapshot of FreeBSD running on my new pentium, which has a Jumbo 350 attached and came across the same problem. After poking about in /sys/i386/isa/ft.c I found that it needed a flag set before the driver actually found the tape. My kernel config is set with: controller fdc0 at isa? port "IO_FD1" flags 0x1 bio irq 6 drq 2 flags 1 vector fdintr disk fd0 at fdc0 drive 0 disk fd1 at fdc0 drive 1 tape ft0 at fdc0 drive 2 and it is now working! The only thing that still is not working (apart from the ATAPI CD-ROM 8-) is that it does not have the right geometery settings for the 170/340Mb 425 foot QICs that it uses. I have had a go at bodging up something that partially works but would love to know the "right values". Regards, Richard
