QIC-02 Tapes
Support knowledgebase (qic02)
Symptom:
You want to access an QIC-02 tape (e.g. Wangtek 5150). At boot time a
message appears:
tpqic02: Runtime config, $Revision: 1.2 $, $Date: 2002/01/09 10:00:08 $
tpqic02: DMA buffers: 20 blocks, at address 0x219800 (0x219668)
Well, accessing this device by entering /dev/tpqic24
results in
an error code as /dev/tpqic24: No such device or address
Cause:
The kernel has been compiled with Runtime-Configuration support for
the QIC02; thus this message is displayed alway whether a card is installed or
not. The real configuration is provided by a tool (which is not included, see
kernel sources).
Lösung:
Try to set the hardware parameter directly in the kernel sources.
Edit /usr/src/linux/include/linux/tpqic02.h
and set the port
address or IRQ in line 92 and 93.
Now compile the kernel but rememeber to set
QIC-02 tape support
in
"Character devices
"
but not
Do you want runtime configuration for QIC-02
