Hi all,
I try to use a ditto 2GB tape drive together with a ditto dash
controller, ftape4.03 and kernel 2.0.33 but with little success. It is
build in at an Elitegroup P5HX-B mainboard with an AMD K5 133MHz.
I experienced a strange behavior of the tape drive. Sometimes I can
execute one or two commands like tar -cvf /dev/nqft0 /etc and ftmt -f
/dev/nqft0 rewind without error message. After that no further command
will work. I get the error message
"Read error on /dev/nqft0: I/O error" and and the message file looks as
appended.
Only after booting one or two commands work.
I tried different base addresses, irq and dma all with the same result
With Windows the tape runs without any error.
Did anyone see this behavior before?
Any advise is appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Joerg
