Re: trakker 450 question

Okay, with ftape-tools latest version installed; and MAKDEV.ftape having
been run and told to overwrite, and with /dev/qft0 being on my disk, I run
ftmt -f /dev/qft0 status, and get back a device not found error.  The
pc-style finds my parallel port for printing too when I boot up.  Any idea
what either I forgot to do or am doing wrong?
