Hi!

You may want to keep your line length to something below 80 chars,
better even around 65 to 75 chars.  It's much more readable
that way.  (log lines & co though should not be brapped, IMHO).
'ere, let me reformat them ... much better.

Trying to kill the keyboard, [EMAIL PROTECTED] produced:

[no other error messages]

Lets see ... in FTAPE/include/linux/qic117.h:
#define QIC117_ERRORS {\
  [...]
  /*36*/ { "Write Reference Burst Failure", 1, },\
  [...]

Looks like the tape has a hardware error (fatal).  Nothing ftape
can do, I think.  Does formatting work under DOS or Windows?
