I got the trakker drivers running on one of my machines so I took the
MCONFIG and the conf.modules from that one along with the same tape drive
and built ftape for another machine. IT doesn't work. BOth machines have the
same kernel and external trakker 350 parallel port tape drive. But I keep
getting a 'no such device' error. I looked and made sure /dev/nqft0 was
there and it is, I also made sure the printer module wasn't loading up and
it isn't. In fact the only modules that are loaded are ftape and zftape,
trakker isn't loading.
I will send the /var/log/messages along with theis note maybe someone can
decipher something from it.
