Hi. I'm trying to get a floppy tape drvive (QIC-80) working on
FreeBSD 2.0.5 Release. I have "ft0" compiled into the kernel.

The FAQ says to add "flags 0x1" to the fdc0 controller line in
the config file. WHen I do that, config gives me errors
saying  that it has a syntax error on that line.

When I leave the flags line out, I get "device timeout" on read
and write using "ft" command.

Again, I'm probably missing something simple.
