Pardon for my ignorance if this has been asked before.
I have tried to load the RPM for ftape 4.02 into RH 6.0 and running both
taper and KBackup with no results..
I have an old Colorado 250 which has been converted to a parallel port
drive device using the kit from Colorado.
I assume it works like the Trakker 250 product.
I have tried setting the parallel port in conf.modules but I can't talk
to any of the tape devices on my machine.
Sending mount commands to various /dev/ doesn't produce anything.
Here is my conf.modules file:
alias eth0 3c59x
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
pre-install pcmcia_core /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start
alias sound sb
pre-install sound insmod sound dmabuf=1
alias midi opl3
options opl3 io=0x388
options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1
alias char-major-27 zftape
options ftape ft_fdc_driver=trakker,none,none,none
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7
options ftape ft_fdc_driver=trakker,none,none,none
#pre-install ftape-internal /sbin/swapout 16
I'm new at this so please help.
Thanks,
Angel
