Not sure if this is what you're after, but here goes. Devices on a floppy
drive connector are numbered 0 and 1 (or a and b for windows) by their
physical connection to the lead. If you can see the ribbon cable, it has a
twist in it. Devices mounted after this twist are device 0, devices mounted
before it are device 1. Depending on where the tape drive is, will depend on
the number.
That is of course, if the convention /dev/fdX actually applies to this
situation, perhaps someone else can advise on that?

Subject: [newbie] Finding Device Names
Hi Folks!
Question:
I have an internal Colorado T1000 tape drive on my box. It is spliced into
the
floppy controller cable. How do I fnd the device name that this will go to
so
that I can mount it. (Assume /dev/fdxX ? ) Is there somewhere that list the
"default" device names for particular devices? Also, has anyone had any
luck
with this type of tape drive?
Thanks,
Bryan
