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?
