First, Iy you get the ditto max parellel to compleatly work,
let me know how.
Now for your problem, looking in the log I see irq:-1
this is what you get when you do not give a irq #.
giveing this info to bpck-fdc seems pointless when I tryed
to do it that way, it ignored it.
What you got to do is give the info to parport_pc.
This is what my conf.modules looks like:
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7 dma=3
alias char-major-27 zftape
options ftape ft_fdc_driver=bpck-fdc,none,none,none ft_tracings=3,3,3,3
options bpck-fdc ft_fdc_parport=0 ft_fdc_threshold=15
ft_fdc_rate_limit=4000
pre-install ftape-internal /sbin/swapout 15
I seem to be able to write to the tape just fine, but I am geting
i/o read errors about an hour into the varify.
If some one could help me with this I would be greatfull.
Jim,
