What floppy controller do you use? Your floppy controller has
to support at least 1000 kbps to let ditto 2GB run. Please
show us the relevant snippet of /var/log/messages.
There you should find something like
Oct 24 11:42:12 Schnecke kernel: [016] 0 ftape-io.c (ftape_report_configuration) -
TR-3 tape detected.
Oct 24 11:42:12 Schnecke kernel: [017] 0 ftape-ctl.c (ftape_init_drive) - post
QIC-117B drive @ 2000 Kbps.
Oct 24 11:42:12 Schnecke kernel: [018] 0 ftape-ctl.c (ftape_calibrate_data_rate) -
Highest FDC supported data rate: 2000 K
bps.
Oct 24 11:42:14 Schnecke kernel: [019] 0 ftape-io.c (ftape_report_configuration)
- TR-3 tape detected.
