I was given a "NEW" old Colorado Memory Systems JUMBO 350 tape backup that
attaches to the floppy controller. I plugged it in last night and now
what?
If I put a tape in it does the tension thing it's suppose to do but using
what instructions I can find using tar it acts as if the drive doesn't
have
a tape in it or the drive isn't there (I've gotten both types of
responses).
So, what does one have to do to get the system (RedHat 7.2) to recognize
this drive?
Did you load the floppy-tape driver (ftape.o)? If so, have you
tried "mt -f /dev/nqft0 rewind" (see "man mt" for details).
If you have access to the kernel source tree, look at
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/ftape.txt
