Find where the floppy cable plugs into the motherboard (or ISA card if old
machine). Note which side pin 1 is on (pin 1 on the cable has a red
stripe). Unplug the floppy cable from the motherboard and plug it into the
socket labeled TO FLOPPY DATA. Plug the part labeled TO FLOPPY CONTROLLER
into the motherboard correctly aligning pin 1. Now plug the part labeled TO
TAPE DRIVE into the tape drive correctly aligning pin 1. You now have it
installed.
Check out ftape. There should be a HOWTO on it. You won't be able to use
the floppy drive while you are using the tape drive.
By the way, SCSI DAT tape drives are real cheap nowdays and a much better
way to go.
Hope this helps,
Bill
