Hi!!!
I'm sorry I haven't replied sooner but I was busy the entire week (just
started school again and all). Anyway, here's the problem, everytime I
execute the command "ftmt -f /dev/qft0 status" I get a "Device not
configured" error. I'm using kernel 2.2.1 and the latest snapshot
ftape-4.x-1999_02_07.
(Kermel messages are included below)
I've executed 4 commands in all ie:
1. insmod ftape
2. insmod zftape
3. insmod bpck-fdc
4. ftmt -f /dev/qft0 status
Thanks (in advance)
ali
