Greetings,
I am having a very tough time even getting anything from my drive (even a
status light other than when I boot or stick a tape in would be nice). I
am very new to ftape and it is probably something I am overlooking. Has
anyone gotten an "Iomega ditto Easy 3200" internal floppy drive working?
Are there any known incompatibilities with this unit?
I am using Red Hat 6.0 with 2.2.5-22 kernel. I assume that the version of
ftape included with the kernel should work. I did a modprobe and ftape.o
and zftape.o are listed. The physical drive is brand new. The machine
boots fine (which means I don't have the cable on backwards right???) and
goes through it's hoops just fine when I insert a new tape.
I used "taper" and every device I give it gives me an illegal device
error. I tried ftape-tool.tcl and the status button always gives me a
"ftmt:/dev/nqft*: No such device", where * represents all the devices I
tried (0-3).
Can someone give me some insight as to what I am doing wrong?
P..S. I tried compiling 4.02 and I always get the following:
fdc-io.c: In function `fdc_interrupt_wait':
fdc-io.c:433: structure has no member named `timeout'
fdc-io.c:454: structure has no member named `timeout'
make[2]: *** [fdc-io.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/ftape-4.02/ftape/lowlevel'
make[1]: *** [modules] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/ftape-4.02/ftape'
make: *** [all] Error 2
I even tried ftape-4.03-pre-2 just to see if anything different would
happen and I got the same make error. Normally I would hack the code and
fix the problem, but I have a feeling that it is something I am doing
wrong since it's been out for a while and many people have probably
successfully compiled it.
Thank you!!!
