<----Been there, done that. I installed the latest ftape
(ftape-4.x-2002_06_13) I know the drive is ok, as it runs fine under DOS
(another machine). I also installed ftape-tools. Here's some more info..

[root@rush root]# ftmt -f /dev/ftape status
ftmt: /dev/ftape: Input/output error
[root@rush root]#

I have more syslog info from running erase, but it's quite long. I'll send
it only if it's necessary. 

I also tried tar'ing a file to the drive and it gives no error messages:

[root@rush root]# tar -cvf /dev/ftape install.log
install.log
[root@rush root]# 

Syslog shows:

Need more at this point?
