After much tinkering to configure the card to use the I/O, IRQ, and DMA expected by the generic kernel the response was: /kernel.GENERIC: wt0 not found at 0x300 Then I took a look at the configuration for GENERIC and realized it wanted the tape drive on the same interrupt as my network card. So I compiled a new kernel with the tape on a different interrupt. (I hate 8-bit cards!) Same message Hhhmmm... ---------------------------------------------------------- Scott A.
