I configured the jumpers as per the install instructions in the 386BSD 0.1 install guide. It is not seen at boot time, nor does tar or "cat /dev/rwt0" seem to cause any reponse on the tape drive. I have a drive connected (also made by Archive - both controller and drive are from an old Apollo DN3000). I realize that 0.1 is an old system, but my question is: Should this setup work? Will this work in one of the newer BNR releases? I am hoping to be able to load one of these newer releases using this drive. I'm tired of mucking with floppies. Thanks for any and all suggestions - Woody Kellum
