Does any one know what is the problem for my floppy tape dirver?

# dmesg

...
fd0: 1.44MB 3.5in
ft0: Colorado tape
wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa
wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): <Maxtor 7850 AR>
......
fdc0: input ready timeout
fdc0: input ready timeout
fdc0: output ready timeout
fdc0: input ready timeout


Here is the errors (2.1-SNAP):

# mt stat
mt: Device not configured
# !!
mt stat
mt: /dev/ft0: Input/output error
# !!
mt stat
mt: Device not configured

The tape drive work under DOS.

Thanks for help!
