- I have installed an Archive XL floppy tape as floppy drive B: and
- installed the XL - software package from my svr4 distribution (MST);
- Now I'm having problem using the tape.
- Everytime I write '/usr/lib/tape/ftapecntl -s' I get the following
- error message:
-
- >Device /dev/rmt/f1q80c open failure.
- >Please check that cartridge or device cables are inserted properly.
-
- I removed the terminator resistor from the tape drive. It seems
- too me that there is nothing wrong but obviously something is.
-
- No, I did NOT forget the tape. It's in the drive.
-
- The floppy drive A: is a 3 1/2-inch drive and has no terminator resistor
- (I did not find it).
-
- The /etc/conf/sdevice/xl file looks like this;
-
- xl Y 1 4 0 0 0 0 0 0
-
- And this is the node file.
-
- xl rmt/f1q80c c 149
- xl rmt/f1q80 c 21
- xl rmt/f1q80n c 17
- xl rmt/f1q80nr c 25
- xl rmt/f1q80r c 29
