Hi everybody,
just got a maynard/archive tape-drive (qic-80). It works fine under DOS.
(according to this, I assume not to have barfed on hardware-installation!)
I installed the QIC-80-ALPHA patch following the README.
The module-patch worked fine.
The kernel-patch worked fine, too.
The ftape-1.02 (patched!) didn't compile during to missing command-parameters
for verify_area. I added them in the appropiate positions. Then the thing
compiled! After inserting the driver-module into the kernel I was able to
seek on the tape and to read and write some blocks but qic refused to work and
the read often failed. both user-executables cored as if they got paid for that!
Here my questions:
- has anyone got qic80 to work on any actual kernel (pl 9-10) ?
- are there newer or other patches than the ones on tsx and sunsite?
- is there any known incomatibility with archive/maynard-drives ?
- what might have gone wrong ?
Thanks in advance ,
prefect
