Having problems with the floppy tape (ft) QIC80 backup utility.

When backing up my FreeBSD System (700 MB), backup got to second tape

then got error message "fatal write error" and it quit.  Also the 

following Messages flashes on the screen at random and throughout the process.

"July 5 17.50:42 babel  /kernel: fdc0: output ready timeout"
"July 5 17.50:42 babel  /kernel: fdc0: input ready timeout"

Any way to get rid of these messages, could they be causing my 
fatal write error ?

I own rev 2.1 FreeBSD CDROM.  Missing any patches on ft software ?

Any new Colorado QIC80 type driver apps on the horrizon ?


Thanks in advance
