I have followed the instructions for installing the drive between the on-board floppy controller and the 3.5" floppy drive. I uncommented the 'ft0' line in kernel configuration file and rebuilt the kernel. When I reboot, the probe sees the floppy controller and floppy drive but not the tape drive. I've tried various cabling configurations but nothing seems to work. Has anyone run into this problem before? Am I overlooking something? I'm desperate to get this fixed. I've done a lot of work getting this box configured and running and I need to do a backup. Thanks!
