Can someone suggest fixes? Tape ---- I have a Colorado Memory Systems Jumbo 250 tape drive (the kind that attaches to the floppy cable). NetBSD apparently cannot see the device with the stock device drivers (wt0 and st0). Am I totally SOL? Has anyone seen a device driver that would do the trick? The manufacturer couldn't help me. Video ----- I have a DFI WG6000VL video card. It's a Vesa Local Bus device with the WD90C33 chipset. After hours of mucking around with XFree86, I have come to the conclusion that the DFI card has a programmable dot clock generator. So, I think I need a clock programmer program. The manufacturer couldn't help me. Again, am I totally SOL? Does anyone else use such a card? -brian |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Brian Ellis (bri@qualcomm.com) __ ___ | | (303)546-1521 (internal x1521)| | _ | _ _ .__ .__ | .__ _ | |_______________________________|_\| (_| (_| | (_ (_) ||| |||_______|_ | | (_.|
