by I'm having problems with my new Colorado Jumbo 250 - I'm at 99-pl15
Installed:
modutils-0.99.14
ftape-0.9.10
The following info is obtained from syslogk.
Here is what I get when I boot the machine:
<6>Console: colour EGA+ 80x28, 8 virtual consoles
<6>Serial driver version 3.99a with no serial options enabled
<6>tty00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16450

<6>ftape: allocated 3 buffers alligned at: 001A8000
<6>Calibrating delay loop.. ok - 24.85 BogoMips

When I load the ftape.o module:

<6>[004] calibr.c (calibrate) - TC for `fdc_wait()' = 3242 nsec (at 2049 counts
).
When I run "cd /usr/src; tar cf /dev/ftape linux":

and so on.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
