I have a tape drive from a used computer I bought, I think it is a Colorado
Jumbo 350 (all it says on the front is Colorado 350), it is a internal tape
drive that hooks to my standard floppy controller, and I can not get it to
work. I am running RH 6.0 with kernel 2.2.9 I am using version 4.x-1999-06-?
from the unstable dir and everything compiles fine and install without any
errors. but when I try to run either taper of ftape-tools I get a message
that device is not configured. I got the fdc adress and irq and dma from
from booting to win98 this is what  is said: i/o address-03f2-03f5, irq 6,
dma 2. Here is how I have conf.modules set up:
alias char-major-27       zftape
options ftape ft_fdc_driver=ftape-internal
options ftape-internal ft_fdc_base=0x3F2 ft_fdc_irq=6 ft_fdc_dma=2
pre-install ftape-internal /usr/local/bin/swapout 15
any ideas what is wrong? I have tried using /dev/qft0, dev/nqft0, dev/zqft0,
dev/nzqft0, dev/ftape and dev/nftape, nothing works. I do not have the
floppy drive mounted. Is there something missing?
Thanks for any help.
