Greetings,

I've just upgraded several things, so hold on while I go through the
error then the hardware.

I have FreeBSD 2.0.5R off of the Walnut Creek CDROM.  Hey, good work
there folks!  Every time I type 'ft' to get the tape header I get the
following:

/kernel: fdc0: output ready timeout
/kernel: fdc0: input ready timeout
/kernel: fdc0: input ready timeout

Hardware:
Intel 486DX-33
ETEQ chipset and MB
16MB RAM
Micropolis 2112A 1080MB IDE HD
Western Digital AC31200A 1.2GB IDE HD
GSI mod. 21 ISA EIDE controller with floppy/tape accelerator
 BIOS drive translation is on
Conner 250MB(125MB physical) tape drive.

During the boot and hardware probe, ft0 conner tape is reported twice.

Any Ideas all?

Mark
