I have FreeBSD 2.2.7 running on a Pentium computer with a
QIC-80 tape drive daisy chained on the floppy controller. The
tape drive was in a Conner box when I bought it about two
years ago. It has worked fine under DOS, Win95 and WinNT.
FreeBSD recognizes it as device ft0. When I execute this
command line:
mt -f /dev/ft0 rewind
The tape drive light comes on and the tape drive whirs for a
few moments and it appears that the tape is rewinding, but
I then get the error message:
mt: /dev/ft0 rewind: Device not configured
Can someone tell me what's going on here?
