You need to add some parameters when loading the modules to tell ftape what sort of tape controller you have. There should be information about this in the html pages that come with ftape-2.0.30. You can put your command line in /etc/conf.modules so that you don't have to type it each time. hamish -- Hamish Moffatt, StudIEAust [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Student, computer science computer systems engineering.3rd year, RMIT. http://hamish.home.ml.org/ (PGP key here) CPOM: [**] 60% Your train has been cancelled due to defective government at Spring Street.. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
