I downloaded the latest ftape, compiled & installed.
No luck yet - best I get is "Device or resource busy"
and I'm not sure its even talking to the tape -
=================
HW = P120, floppy connector on MB, as follows: conn - ribbon - tape
-[some lines twisted] - floppy. [ hope that last part makes sense ]
??? should the floppy be first then the tape ??? or does it care ??
I have a colorado FC-10 someplace in a parts box - should I dig
it out and install it - [ w95/iomega sw ??? something didn't like
it/wouldn't work with it back when so I took it out ]
=========================
here are the only 2 lines in mod/ins
insmod ./ftape.o ft_fdc_driver=ftape-internal,bpck-fdc:trakker,none,none
ft_tracings=3,3,3,3,3
nsmod ./zftape.o ft_major_device_number=27 # ${27-FT_MAJOR}
