Hi Carl,
thank you for your mail.

Ok, I changed the fdc_base to 0x3f0 (checked with cat /proc/ioports).
All other is identical. After reboot and a "ftmt -f /dev/qft0 status"
I get an error-message:
ftmt: /dev/qft0: No such device or address
I do a cat /proc/ftape/driver/drivers and I get:
Lowlevel fdc drivers registered with ftape
Drivers registered for device 0: ftape-internal
Drivers registered for device 1:
Drivers registered for device 2:
Drivers registered for device 3:
It looks like a little bit different to your message.
> ftape-internal -- driver for internal FDC controllers (FC-10/FC-20/82078
> /Ditto EZ)
lsmod shows:
Module Pages Used by
zftape 20 0 (autoclean)
ftape 35 [zftape] 0 (autoclean)
Why is "ftape-internal" not shown ?
> Try to do a raw dump to the tape with something like:

It doesn't work (dd: /dev/rawft0: No such device or address)
Servus
