Hello,
was anyone able to make an external Ditto 2G work under Red Hat 6.0
?
I installed the unstable ftape-4.x-1999_09_11 and
ftape-tools-1999_09_11.
After, say, a �ftmt --file='/dev/qft0' status�, all I get is the
message
�ftmt: /dev/qft0: Device not configured� (the Ditto's little orange
light doesn't
even blink once).
Thanks in advance,
Rafael L.O.
Just in case, here goes some detailed information:
* /etc/conf.modules:
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
pre-install pcmcia_core /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start
alias char-major-27 zftape
options ftape ft_fdc_driver=bpck-fdc:trakker,none,none,none
* Autoloaded modules:
[root@localhost /root]# lsmod
Module Size Used by
trakker 15104 0 (autoclean)
parport_probe 2884 0 (autoclean)
parport_pc 5012 0 (autoclean)
bpck-fdc 32132 0 (autoclean)
parport 7092 0 (autoclean) [trakker parport_probe
parport_pc bpck-fdc]
zftape 88524 -1 (autoclean)
ftape 146200 0 (autoclean) [trakker bpck-fdc zftape]
* I though it was something wrong with the PC parallel port or the
parport
module, but my printer (a Cannon BJ-200e) works just fine under RH6.0.
