I recently installed an IOMega Ditto tape drive (1G/2G compressed) and have
not been able to get FBSD to work with it.
Apparently, it does recognize it (dmesg), but any attempt to access the
drive through mt -f /dev/rft0 (or simply cat /dev/rft0) results in an error.
It is a "floppy tape" which works fine in Win95, so the hardware is fine.
In my kernel conf file, I have "tape ft0 drive 2." (Drive 1 didn't work, it
just checked my floppy twice.
Any help would be appreciated. Is there something I'm missing or am I just
out of luck?
Thanks,
