: I've "installed" the ftape-4.03-pre-2 package, along with
: the tools and doc packages. The ftape and trakker modules
: seem to load without complaint, but :
:
: ~# mt -f /dev/qft0 status
: mt: /dev/qft0: Operation not supported by device.
:
: In /etc/conf.modules:
:
: alias char-major-27 zftape
: options ftape ft_fdc_driver=trakker,none,none,none
: options trakker ft_fdc_base=0x378 ft_fdc_irq=0x7
:
: trakker.c: trakker_register @ 0x030591d8
: [000] fdc-io.c (fdc_register) - Probing for trakker tape drive slot 0.
: [001] 0 trakker.c (trakker_speedtest) - delay: 0 PS2.
: [002] 0 ftape-buffer.c (add_one_buffer)
: - buffer nr #1 @ 025a3f18, dma area @ 0305b000.
: [003] 0 ftape-buffer.c (add_one_buffer)
: - buffer nr #2 @ 0250d618, dma area @ 0305b000.
: [004] 0 ftape-buffer.c (add_one_buffer)
: - buffer nr #3 @ 0250d718, dma area @ 0305b000.

You should add ft_fdc_parport=-1, otherwise the base/irq settings may
be ignored:
options trakker ft_fdc_parport=-1 ft_fdc_base=0x378 ft_fdc_irq=0x7
The log looks good, so far. You should run "dmesg" after invoking
the "mt" command. There should be much more in the log afterwards.
