Well kinda. I finally got my ditto dash card and installed it. I had to tweak the IRQ jumper and the "insert" script and I was able to successfully access the drive. When I did a format, I got the following: [root@bailey mail]# ftformat -f /dev/nrawqft0 --format-parameters qic-standard=0x83,format-code=4,floppy-head-max=54,floppy-track-max=254,segments-per-track=1110,tracks-per-tape=50,gap3=248 Reading old header segment ... done. Erasing track 0Tape drive error sending physical forward command: 15 (Command Illegal or Undefined in Format Mode) Please ignore the error message printed above!Ioctl error sending format parameters: Invalid argument The above output message has two error messages but it only talks about ignoring one. Is there anything wrong here? Here's the output from /var/log/messages: Sep 30 21:21:28 bailey kernel: [060] 0 zftape-ctl.c (mtiocftcmd) - driver needs to be in raw mode for this ioctl.
