Hi,
I am having two problems, one being critical, the other well, fun
fun fun.
The first one is that my FreeBSD 3.2 won`t configure my floppy tape
drive. I enabled the flag 1 on the fdc0 line and tried two things:
putting ft0 on drive 2 (as specified in the FAQ) and since it didn`t
work, I tried drive 1 (I don`t have a second floppy drive and the tape
drive is on connector B).
The floppy drive is enabled in bios (tried to disable it anyways).
Whenever I try to access the drive I get the famous `device not
configured` message... Could it be that Travan tapes are not recognized
as QIC? Before toying around with the source, I'd like to try everything
I can.
My second problem is that the pca0 is always busy. I don`t have the
speaker pseudo-device enabled. The command I try to test it is simply
ls /dev > /dev/pcaudio ... This machine is a 486-100 ... Maybe it's
too basic to use this device? ;)
I can't see anything wrong. I hope you guys can help!
