Heck, i have no idea about how many of these drives might float around, and whether it's possible to find at least a second person who could confirm that it works not only in one occasion -- anyways, it might be nice to have it. Do you have it running under 2.1, or under -current? Since -current has provisions for devfs, these things must go in yet otherwise. > 2) An upgraded 'ft' program for QIC-80 tape.

He's been the last one who was intending to handle floppy tape issues. -- 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. ;-)
