Hi, me again (yay), I tried dump, it paniced again: dump 0usfd 400 /dev/ft0 43690 /dev/sd0a And it locks up all of my input devices (mouse & keyboard), I didn't notice that before. I thought maybe something wasn't right with the tape drive. So I tried out the software it came with in windoze, and it verified that it was a QIC-80 format and did a test write to my tape. Also, whenever I put in the tape for the first time, it does something (i can hear the tape). But I guess that's just the hardware doing that by itself. Sherman
