I was just wondering if anyone has managed to get an Iomega DITTO
420 tape drive to work under FreeBSD.  I have tried both the ft
filter and the new lft filter and neither will work (I get an un-
recoverable write error on block [or was it sector] 3200).  I also
noticed that lft had claimed my tape would hold 79MB when it should
have held ~170MB.  Anyway, if you have gotten this particular tape
drive to work, please let me know.
