I'm trying to get my Iomega Tape700 to work under SuSE 6.1 . I
downloaded the latest ftape sources and succeeded compiling and
installing the modules. I also compiled a new Kernel without support
for fTape. The problem is, the device special file for floppy tapes
under SuSE is /dev/ftape. So when I do a
ftmt -f /dev/qft0 status
I get "/dev/qft0 is not a character special file". Trying
ftmt -f /dev/ftape status
causes "/dev/ftape: Device is not configured".
I guess I simply have to patch the MCONFIG file (I did not edit it), but
since I am new to this level of system-admin-stuff, any help would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Klaus Rilling.
