Hi. I'm trying to get a Ditto Max Pro drive to work with linux (kernel 2.0.36)
and it's not really working.
First, i did a normal install, according to the INSTALL file. The drive
uses a Ditto Dash DX card , so i didn't change anything in the MCONFIG file
the first time did a make.
It wasn't working that time, so I looked around on usenet and found a post
from someone that had done this(having a hard time getting in touch with him).
He mentioned using pnpdump to get the addresses, etc., then modifying the
insert script with the values from that (for irq, dma, base, etc.). I tried
that and then tried the command:
ftmt -f /dev/ftape status
i get the follwing in /var/logs/messages:

In my MCONFIG file, i've entered the following:

hope that someone can help. thanks for your time!
