well 1000 kbit/sec are enough, but this still means that standard
floppy controllers (which only support 500 kb/sec) do not work.
If you have connected your tape drive to the standard controller, then
you probably don't need to tell ftape about dma and irq settings, or
use irq=6, dma=2, io=0x3f0.
Ftape will print a message to the kernel log file identifying the fdc
it had detected. This also will shine some light on whether the fdc is
featureful (i.e.: fast) enough to driver Tr-3 drives.
