HI,


I have successfuly installed ftape-20020321 from a tar ball and run 
Amanda as my backup program.  I have a Colorado T-3000 internal backup 
drive that uses tr-3 tapes.  My machine has the post-1991 82077 floppy 
drive controller and I run linux-2.4.17 modular kernerl which I built 
myself.  

My questions is that while performing backups I can only get a maximum 
backup up speed of about 80 kbps!  I have read in the ftape literautre 
that my fdc is capable of about 2 Mbps and I know that the backup drive 
can handle up to 19 Mbps.  Is there a setting that I am missing 
somewhere that I can use to speed up the backup process?  Any help would 
be appreaciated.
