I hope someone can give me a clue to my ftape problem. I am running linux on an old 486 box with an internal colorado HP tape drive attached to a fd-20 tape drive card - works fine with win3.1. So far have had no luck with linux. Linux ver 2.0.36 patched with ver 2 patch from ftape 4.02 and recompiled ftape 4.02 compiled with CONFIG set to enable fd-20 card when booting there is a message FDC 0 8272A when a tape operation ie tar is tried on /dev/qft0 there is a message QIC-117 driver ...QIC-3010 QIC-3020 etc installing QIC -117 ftape-init @x0100b1 ... then a message tar cannot open /dev/qft0 operation not supported by device dev/qft0 is defined as crw------- root root 27 0 I don't know where to look or what to try next any help will be appreciated Bob Ruch
