Hi,
I have a CMS Jumbo 120 tape drive. (I purchased it when I was using
MS-DOS -- It works fine there, but I don't use DOS any more.) As I have two
floppy drives I also purchased a controller for it - the FC-10. I assume that
this is also a CMS product.
The FC-10 is a "jumperless controller". When I installed it under DOS
the software asked me for DMA channel, Interupt number, and the base I/O
address, which I supplied as 3, 6, 0x180.
When I try to probe() the controller I don't get any responce.
Would the settings supplied under DOS be stored on the board some how,
or would they only be stored in a file? I know that the config is stored in
a file, but I don't know if this is for the board or the software.
Has anyone had any success probing any jumperless controller? Has
anyone got any suggestions? Can anyone help me??
Thanks in advance,
Colin
