Help text

With some motherboard/FDC combinations ftape will not be able to run your FDC/tape drive combination at the highest available speed. If this is the case you'll encounter "reduced data rate because of excessive overrun errors" messages and lots of retries before ftape finally decides to reduce the data rate.

In this case it might be desirable to tell ftape beforehand that it need not try to run the tape drive at the highest available speed. If unsure, leave this disabled, i.e. leave it at 2000 bits/sec.
