Hi!
I got the Ditto Max drive to talk, but it still will not work. Below
is
what I get in my dmesg file, but first my configuration -
- conf.modules -
alias char-major-27 zftape
options ftape ft_fdc_base=0x200 ft_fdc_irq=0x03 ft_fdc_dma=0
isapnp is configured as base 0x200, irq 3, dma 0
when I try to use my tape drive, it reports it cannot find it's
position.
Also it seems that ftape does not see it as a ditto max drive.
