Hello J�rgen,
O.K. I managed to get rid of the parport lock, but I still can't see the
bp-pp tape drive the following messages when loading bpck-fdc:
- "Got 0x78, expected either 0xc0 or 0x40" (same message when *nothing* is
connected to the parallel port), and,
- "can't find bpck interface for ftape id 0"
The loading sequence of the modules is (all do appear with with lsmod):
insmod ftape ft_fdc_driver=bpck-fdc,none,none,none ft_tracings=4,4,4,4,4
insmod zftape
insmod bpck-fdc ft_fdc_parport=0 ft_fdc_base=0x378 ft_fdc_irq=7 (gives the
error message below)
the alternative command also gives the error
insmod bpck-fdc ft_fdc_base=0x378 ft_fdc_irq=7 (gives the
same error
message)
Is there something trivial I am missing ?
Any further hints ?
Best regards,
Pierre.
