: I cannot get the Trakker parallel port drive to work on my system.
: It's and old trakker 350 and works fine in DOS but I haven't been able to
: get Linux to see it. Following is the entries in the conf.modules and the
: entries in the MCONFIG file that I built ftape from.
:
: I am using Linux 2.0.30 (yes I know I should upgrade but I am using a funky
: lap-top that 2.0.36 dies on). I have upgraded the modutils to the latest
: version. I am building ftape from the ftape-4.03-pre-2 version.
Since the automatic IRQ detection doesn't work, you should specify the
bas/irq by hand. So for the first parallel port the right entry in
MCONFIG is:
TRAKKER_DEV=0
FDC_OPT += -DCONFIG_FT_FDC_PARPORT_$(TRAKKER_DEV)=-1 \
-DCONFIG_FT_PAR_$(TRAKKER_DEV)=1 \
-DCONFIG_FT_TRAKKER_$(TRAKKER_DEV)=1 \
-DCONFIG_FT_FDC_BASE_$(TRAKKER_DEV)=0x378 \
-DCONFIG_FT_FDC_IRQ_$(TRAKKER_DEV)=7
Alternatively you may specify it in conf.modules:
options trakker ft_fdc_parport=-1 ft_fdc_base=0x378 ft_fdc_irq=7
and change the script modules/insert to:
insmod ./trakker.o ft_fdc_parport=-1 ft_fdc_base=0x378 ft_fdc_irq=7
For the second parallel port use 0x278 and 5 instead of 0x378 and 7.
