I need it to perfom = regular backups on our system. I have recompiled the kernal to enable its support as /dev/ft0 but when = i try to read or write to it it says "Device not configured". This is = strange as it worked fine until we upgraded to BSD. I have been unable to find any useful info on the subject on irc or in = the newsgroups about this except for them recommending that i get some = ide tape drives for our organisation, this is not really an option since = our taoe drives work fine & are suited enough for our needs. BTW: there is no mention of ft0 in dmesg.
