Hello all, I upgraded my motherboard from 100MHz Pentium to 400 MHz K6-2 and around the same time upgraded my OS from Debian 1.31 to Suse 6.2. This wasn't near as painful as it sounds, but now my tape drive, an old CMS 120 Jumbo (DJ-10), does not want to work under Linux. I used ftape on it on the old system, and my old DOS tapes read OK in Windows on the new machine. When I try to list a tarred tape in Linux now it says.. bash-2.03# tar tvf /dev/ftape tar: Cannot open /dev/ftape: No such device tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now It will give me the same error even when there is no tape in the drive. The device /dev/ftape is a link to the device file (I don't remember it off the top of my head) which has the major number 27. I think that is right. And ftape is listed in /etc/conf.modules. I ran lsmod and ftape is listed, but is says it is not used. I haven't done much with modules so I don't know if there is any other tweaking I need to do. I read the FAQ and the module doc; they talk about possibly setting I/O ports and IRQs, but I don't know the numbers for these, and I didn't have to set them before. Anyone else have this problem, or know a way around it?
