Date: 12 Jun 1995 12:01:36 -0400 Organization: MSG, Inc. (Burlington, MA) Lines: 23 Sender: Coranth Gryphon <gryphon@msgi.com> Message-ID: <3rhod0$faa@hydra.msgi.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: hydra.msgi.com I notice that the kernel supports "ft0" which looks like a floppy tape drive. Two questions. Can this be a QIC-80 (a la Colorado Trakker) type tape drive? The entry in the sys/i386/conf/GENERIC lists "ft0 at fdc0 drive 2". I this correct regardless of how many floppy drives are on the machine? In other words, if I just have a 3.5 and the tape, would the tape be listed as "ft0 at fdc0 drive 1"? Thanx for the info. -coranth --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Coranth Gryphon <gryphon@msgi.com> MSG, Inc.
