I get the same error, but I don't know why I get also
a "Device not configured" directly on the standard output.
I can rewind the tape, but I get that error, and I can't
do anything else. I have a SuSe 6.2, kernel 2.2.10, Ditto
Max Pro plugged via his interface (not on the floppy controller).
What is wrong?
Thank you all for reading this mail,
