I have a Colorado T1000 tape drive with a QIC-80 tape in it. It seems to be impossible to buy any floppy tape except one of the Travan ones here in Toronto. When I do a cold boot with a tape inserted the drive reads and rewinds the tape as soon as the power comes on. Does this seem normal? When I boot BSD it then detects FT0: Unknown tape. Once it detected a Colorado tape but I can't reproduce that condition. When I do a warm boot or a boot without a tape installed it never detects the drive. I changed the fdc0 line in the kernel to add the flags keyword but it didn't help. Any help is appreciated. I am getting discouraged at not being able to backup this system. Jim Chapman
