Hi,

I having trouble with my Colorado 250 tape drive.
My 486 box has 1.44 drive and the Colorado tape. I recompiled my kernel with

  controller      fdc0    at isa? port "IO_FD1" bio irq 6 drq 2 vector fdintr
  disk            fd0     at fdc0 drive 0
  tape            ft0     at fdc0 drive 1

in the config file. I then did a 'sh MAKEDEV ft0' after I reboot the machine.
When I do a 'mt -f /dev/ft0 rewind', I get a "Device not configured"

Am I missing a step somewhere?

Thank you in advance.

Thanva
