The following table tries to give some complete example
setups. Don't copy these examples unmodified. You have to
adjust the IO address, IRQ channel and DMA channel to the proper values
for your hardware setup.

Single internal tape drive
|
-
# load ftape/zftape automatically
alias char-major-27 zftape
# user ftape-internal.o for /dev/qft0
options ftape ft_fdc_driver=ftape-internal,none,none,none
# use standard fdc controller.
options ftape-internal ft_fdc_base=0x3f0 ft_fdc_irq=6 ft_fdc_dma=2
# make sure to have enough swap space
pre-install ftape-internal /usr/local/bin/swapout 15
swapout is only available on your system if you installed the
ftape-tools package. Also `/usr/local/bin/ ' only reflects the
default installation path of swapout and may be different on your
system. See Optional utilities.

Single internal tape drive, using an Ditto EZ controller card
|
-
# load ftape/zftape automatically
alias char-major-27 zftape
# user ftape-internal.o for /dev/qft0
options ftape ft_fdc_driver=ftape-internal,none,none,none
# use standard fdc controller.
options ftape-internal ft_fdc_base=0x3f0 ft_fdc_irq=6 ft_fdc_dma=2 ft_fdc_pnp_vendor=a
# make sure to have enough swap space
pre-install ftape-internal /usr/local/bin/swapout 15
swapout is only available on your system if you installed the
ftape-tools package. Also `/usr/local/bin/ ' only reflects the
default installation path of swapout and may be different on your
system. See Optional utilities.

Single Colorado Trakker parallel port tape drive
|
-
# load ftape/zftape automatically
alias char-major-27 zftape
# user trakker.o for /dev/qft0
options ftape ft_fdc_driver=trakker,none,none,none
# no special options required for the trakker.o module
|
Single Backpack compatible parallel port tape drive
|
-
# load ftape/zftape automatically
alias char-major-27 zftape
# user bpck-fdc.o for /dev/qft0
options ftape ft_fdc_driver=bpck-fdc,none,none,none
# no special options required for the bpck-fdc.o module
|
Auto-probe for either Trakker or BackPack
|
-
# load ftape/zftape automatically
alias char-major-27 zftape
# user trakker or bpck-fdc for /dev/qft0
options ftape ft_fdc_driver=trakker:bpck-fdc,none,none,none
# no special options required for the trakker.o or bpck-fdc.o module
|
Internal and parallel port tape drives
|
The following line should be used when you have an internal floppy tape
drive installed and want to be able to use a parallel port tape drive as
well. This example auto-probes for either a Colorado Trakker tape drive or
a Backpack tape drive at the parallel port tape drive. As it seems that
the internal Iomega Ditto Max can't be used with other ftape
devices than `/dev/qft0 ' this example configures ftape to use
`/dev/qft0 ' for the internal tape drive.
-
# load ftape/zftape automatically
alias char-major-27 zftape
# user ftape-internal.o for /dev/qft0 and trakker.o or bpck-fdc.o for /dev/qft1
options ftape ft_fdc_driver=ftape-internal,trakker:bpck-fdc,none,none
# use standard fdc controller.
options ftape-internal ft_fdc_base=0x3f0 ft_fdc_irq=6 ft_fdc_dma=2
# make sure to have enough swap space
pre-install ftape-internal /usr/local/bin/swapout 15
# no special options required for the trakker.o or bpck-fdc.o module
swapout is only available on your system if you installed the
ftape-tools package. Also `/usr/local/bin/ ' only reflects the
default installation path of swapout and may be different on your
system. See Optional utilities.

Totally fudged out setup
|
Assume you are crazy and have two internal tape drives which should be
used with `/dev/qft0 ' and `/dev/qft2 ', and have a Colorado
Trakker parallel port tape drive which is glued to `/dev/qft1 ' and
several other parallel port tape drives floating around (either Colorado
Trakker or with the Micro Solutions BackPack interface) which optionally
might be used with `/dev/qft3 ', then the following over-kill setup
is appropriate (but why didn't you buy a DAT tape drive as backup medium
in this case???)
