1. FTAPE and Colorado FC-10 with JUMBO 250
Hi,
is there someone who ever used the ftape driver with a Colorado
FC-10 "high speed" controller card and a JUMBO 250 tape drive ?
Since about one month I try to get it work.
I got the ftape-versions from 0.9x until 2.03 and compiled it more
than once. On the floppy controller the drive works ok, but with
FC-10 it did never.
When I insert the driver module syslog tells me that ftape finds
the FC-10 correctly. All right so far...
But when I try some operation with "mt" it waits to grab the
interrupt and waits and waits...
After the specified timeout it stops of course with "no tape drive
found.".
I tried every interrupt from 2 to 7 and DMA channel from 1 to 3.
I configured the card under DOS and changed the ftape Makefile
accordingly. The newest Install-guide(2.03b) tells me that I have
to use IRQ 9 and DMA 3 in the Makefile and to configure the card
with IRQ 2 and DMA 3. But it absolutely made no difference...
Has anyone ever heard of such things ?
Please help, I'm getting mad !
Thanx.
Marko
