Greetings

I'm currently running FreeBSD V. 2.0.5R (Walnut Creek CD) and am trying
to "dump 0f -/ | gzip | ft "test""

After some extranious errors I get

Oct 10 20:36:11 mark /kernel: ft0: unexpected interrupt; st0 = $20 pcn = 19

Dump | ft works, but I need to compress the data to fit it onto as few 
tapes as possible.  

My hardware is as follows
ft0: Conner CM250 floppy tape drive
fdc0: GSI 21 EIDE ISA controller with accelerated tape I/O
486-33
ETEQ chipset
16MB RAM

Any Ideas?
Mark
