I have added the ft0 driver to the kernel. It recognises the tape at boot but any attempt to access it hangs the process. I guess the driver is still not really working. I have heard that it does work in -current. Can someone say (definitively) whether I can just get a small number of files (e.g. ft.c, ft.h) from -current and get it working. Thanks, Graham
