- 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
