Message-ID: <1992Sep26.191138.10672@hippo.ru.ac.za> Date: 26 Sep 92 19:11:38 GMT Article-I.D.: hippo.1992Sep26.191138.10672 References: <1992Sep22.225256.25660@minyos.xx.rmit.oz.au> <1992Sep22.175431.1@vax.sonoma.edu> Organization: Katatura State Hospital, Windhoek, Namibia Lines: 30 I have an archive controller and a priam et-60 drive which works on a proprietary ms-dos backup software as Archive FT-60 (and actually is amazingly fast on my 33 mhz 386 :-)-O) I hav configured it to drq 1 port 0x300 and irq 5. tinybsd doesn't see it. It also doesn't see my phillips cd-rom, but this doesn't matter, because I only have ms-dos cd-roms :-)-O What can I do to make tinybsd see the tape? (Of course the complete bsd is on the tape ...) The tape also interferes with the cd-rom which uses irq5. (Don't tell me to try it without the cd-rom, I ripped the card and the cd-rom but the tape is still not seen.) So I might have to sneakernet the stuff of another box but is there somewhere a note on how to reconfigure the kernel (or whatever needs to be done) to use irq2, which does not interfere with anything? I also have com3 and com4 working well under ms-dos. Is there a note somewhere on how to install these into the /dev? regards, el -- Dr. Eberhard W.
