Will I have to move to 2.1 kernel to get my 63200P working, I see that
kernel has support for it
Ftape (QIC-80/Travan) support (CONFIG_FTAPE) [N/y/m/?] ?
CONFIG_FTAPE:
If you have a tape drive that is connected to your floppy
controller, say Y here.
Some tape drives (like the Seagate "Tape Store 3200" or the Iomega
"Ditto 3200" or the Exabyte "Eagle TR-3") come with a "high speed"
controller of their own. These drives (and their companion
controllers) are also supported if you say Y here.
I posted it yesterday but I think it got lost
I have a Seagate 63200P which is a parallel port ftape drive, I believe
compatible with ditto 3200. I have RedHat-5.0/egcs linux 2.0.34. I
installed ftape device with this in my conf.modules
alias char-major-27 zftape
options ftape ft_fdc_driver=bpck-fdc,none,none,none
but when I access the device I get errors from bpck-fdc, (refer to the
error messages in the next paragraph). I tried using trakker and got
similar (checksum) errors. I have checked that it is trying to grab 0x378
which is the correct IO Base, I dont think it is using an IRQ, I forced
it to use IRQ7 but still the same result. Can someone identify what it is,
or point me to the right direction.
