I tried lft with a Colorado > T1000 and still got the device timeout errors. I am running 2.1.0-RELEASE. I didn't have to.....But I think the issue is that you have a T1000 and I have a Jumbo 250, which IAW the man page lft was developed for/with/...: //... NOTES QIC format compatibility with CBWLite for Windows and harware compati- bilty with Colorado Jumbo 250 (using floppy interface) have been tested extensively. No other configurations have been investigated. //... If I remember correctly, a friend tried to run a T1000 on the ft driver and it didn't work. Since lft was " Developed using the ft device interaction from ft(8)..." maybe some of the hw incompatibility was inhereted?
