Ok - I'm not having much luck here, but I'll try again.
I have installed ftape version 4.03-pre2. with Linux kernel 2.2.5 and
RH 5.2 on my HP Kayak with a Ditto 2gb tape drive piggybacked on the
parallel port.
I have modules for ftape, zftape, and bpck-fdc. The kernel was NOT
compiled with these modules, these are from 4.03-pre2. The modules are
all loading properly. But when I try to use any of the tools I get
"/dev/<n>qft0: Device not configured. I have run MAKEDEV.ftape and the
/devs all appear in the /dev directory. One thing I tried was to go to
/proc/parport/0/irq and change the irq to 7(it is normally set to
"none" at bootup), which is what Windows Device manager lists as the
irq for LPT1 . When I do this, the drive seems to be accessed, but the
OS goes into a loop and I have to force a quit. Any help would be
REALLY appreciated.
TIA
Tom
