Alright, I need more help than I thought. I downloaded the latest ftape. Installed it. Read the documentation. Modified the MCONFIG file. Successfully compile the code this time. Was ready to load the module. Modified the ftape/modules/insert file. Thought everything was near completion. But when I ran ./insert nothing appeared on the screen (I even removed the # in front of /usr/sbin/klogd -i). I fired the tape backup tool from the Utilities sub menu (KDE environment system). I selected the drive /dev/ftape and 120 MB for the media size. I use a Summit SE120 internal floppy tape backup. Loaded a cartridge. Tried to mount the tape... After 5 secs of no mouse movement, control is back to me with "There is no tape in the drive" I looked again the insert file and I think I do not know perfectly my hadware. I cheated and use W98 to see that my floppy controller was IRQ6, DMA2 memory 3F2-3F2,3F4-3F5 and 3F7-3F7. Can anybody help me to solve this final stage? I did not installed the driver automatically at boot. But I know that ftape support is available as a module from my kernel. I run SuSE 6.2, kernel 2.2.10. Thanks, Martin
