Hi Christian,

I hope this doesn't demean your intelligence for I in no way intend to
do that, but, is there a /dev/qft0? There isn't one on my system.

Check out /usr/src/linux/Documentation/devices.txt (sample:)

 27 char	QIC-117 tape
		  0 = /dev/qft0		Unit 0, rewind-on-close
		  1 = /dev/qft1		Unit 1, rewind-on-close
		  2 = /dev/qft2		Unit 2, rewind-on-close
		  3 = /dev/qft3		Unit 3, rewind-on-close

If there isn't one, then you can make a /dev/qft0 by doing:

mknod /dev/qft0 c 27 0
