Thanks for the reply.
Yes I have tried using the onboard floppy controller, with the same lack
of success.
I gotta tell you that this linux - ftape - backup stuff is really new to
me,
so the problem is probably something very basic.
Anyhow, I have read that the FC20 accellerator is supported by ftape, and
would really like to use if possible, but barring that I'll use whatever
works.
