The fdc0 is the one integrated on the ASUS P/I-P55T2P4 mainboard, and the tape backup unit is a Iomega Tape 250. The BIOS is Award, v.4.50G (rel. 105). The kernel and everything else should be correctly configured, at least from what I found in the FreeBSD doc. Is there a way to solve this problem, or should I give up? TIA, Cleto Pescia cleto@e-link.ch
