With regard to floppy tapes, the word ``supported'' is probably a bold overstatement. They are largely unsupported, and only a few older types are being recognized at all. Nobody has been stepping forward to maintain the ft driver lately. Those few individuals who did maintain it previously finally ran out of time, and finally switched to SCSI tape drives, which they apparently find quite more comfortable with now. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
