Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: Conner Floppy Tape Date: 27 Jun 1995 01:53:06 GMT Organization: ftn Internet Lines: 7 Message-ID: <3snoa2$a3q@master.ftn.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: focus.ftn.net X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Has anyone had any success accessing a Conner 420 tape drive. It seems that a can create a tape archive if I use ft, However, if I use say ... m 'mt -f /dev/ft0 rewind' I get a kernel panic and reboot. Any help would be appreciated. BTW, a Conner 420 (mine) is run from the floppy controller... The kernel recognizes the tape during the boot process, Identifies it by NAME.
