Hi all:

I am trying to test ftape 4.03-pre-3 (28/03/99) with my kernel 2.2.13
and my Colorado FC-20 Card. The problem is that I cannot make ftape to
recognize my FC-20 Card, although it was properly recognized with the
3.04 version coming with the kernel.

$ mt -f /dev/nqft0 status
mt: /dev/nqft0: Device not configured

I first created a kernel image with ftape disabled and later recompiled
the debian ftape-4.03 source package (that is a source only package, to
be recompiled for the current kernel), and installed it

These are the error messages

Dec 14 17:48:43 guindo kernel: [131] 0      fdc-internal.c
(fdc_int_detect) - called with count 0.

and this is the text that will go to /etc/conf.modules

#pre-install ftape /usr/bin/swapout 15

# These were the selections included in ftape-util for ftape 4

# and this is what I try to use

options ftape ft_fdc_driver=ftape-internal,none,none,none
options ftape-internal ft_fdc_base=0x180 ft_fdc_irq=9 ft_fdc_dma=3
options ftape-internal ft_fdc_fc10=1

Any hint about the reason for the problem?

Cheers,
