I have a Conner CTT800 Travan TR-1 tape drive that I want to use as
device ft0.  I have it connected to what would be the B: floppy drive
cable connector, with a 1.44M floppy on the A: connector.

I have /dev/ft0 and /dev/ft0a and /dev/rft0 and /dev/rft0a, and if I
am reading /sys/i386/conf/LINT correctly, floppy tape support is built
into the general fdc0 device, but when I try to mount a tape using

mount /dev/ft0a /mnt

I get

/dev/ft0a: Device not configured

Has anyone used this drive successfully, and if so, can they please provide
me some details as to how they did it?

Thank you for your time.

Regards from Portland,

Jim
