When I try to use a : command such as 'mt -f /dev/nrft0 status', the floppy drive whirrs for a : little, and then I get a '/dev/nrft0: device not found' error. Now the : floppy is not mounted, so I don't understand why it is trying to access : it. The mt command autoloads the ftape module that came with the : distribution properly.... Does your tape drive hook up via the floppy controller, via its own controller, or through something like a SCSI buss? -=-=-=-=-=- Regards / Leon Brooks -=-=-=-=-=- On a clear disk, you can seek forever.
