Howdy!

I have a Colorado Jumbo drive and was using 'ft' to backup my /usr 
filesystem.  It gave me an error before it was done, something about 
/kernel input timed out or /kernel timed out on input.

The commandline I used was taken directly from the ft man page.

The tape I used was pre-formatted for the Colorado using a DOS package 
and already had stuff on it.  I'm thinking that it ran out of space, but 
there was no indication of that from the error message.

I was wondering if anybody knows of any freeware available to format a 
QIC-80 tape in Colorado format?  Or is there any Colorado backup software?

Thanks.
