I cant get ftape-4.02 going. I've RTFM's and I guess I'm missing something. I keep
getting:
Linux:~> ftmt -f /dev/qft0 status
ftmt: /dev/qft0: No such device or address
Linux:~> ftmt -f /dev/nqft0 reten
ftmt: /dev/nqft0: No such device or address
etc...

Here's my info:
Sys - generic pc-486 32M
Tape - Ditto Insider 800 (QIC-80) on the FDC (works fine in Win/DOS. Ditto tools
reports: i/o=0x3f0 irq=6 dma=2)
OS - Slackware(libc) 3.6, kernel 3.0.36
What I've done:
1) Recompiled kernel. Removed ftape support. Added floppy.c patch.
2) Compiled, installed ftape-4.02 and ftape-tools-1.07
Here's some output:
