6.3.4: ftape-internal.o


ft_fdc_base=HEX0,HEX1,HEX2,HEX3

The base address of your FDC. To configure the base address of the FDC used with `/dev/qft#X' you have to specify the value for HEX#X.


ft_fdc_irq=DEC0,DEC1,DEC2,DEC3

The IRQ (interrupt) line of your FDC. To configure the IRQ channel of the FDC used with `/dev/qft#X' you have to specify the value for DEC#X.


ft_fdc_dma=DEC0,DEC1,DEC2,DEC3

The DMA (direct memory access) channel of your FDC. To configure the DMA channel of the FDC used with `/dev/qft#X' you have to specify the value for DEC#X.


ft_fdc_fc10=EN0,EN1,EN2,EN3

The Colorado FC-10/FC-20 controller needs special initialisation code. Setting EN#X to 1 enables this code for device `/dev/qft#X', setting it to 0 disables.


ft_fdc_mach2=EN0,EN1,EN2,EN3

The Moutain MACH-2 controller has a second DOR(1) which is not present in other FDCs and has to be programmed as well. Setting EN#X to 1 enables use of this register for `/dev/qft#X', setting it to 0 disables.


ft_fdc_pnp_vendor=VEN0,VEN1,VEN2,VEN3
ft_fdc_pnp_dev=DEV0,DEV1,DEV2,DEV3
ft_fdc_pnp_fct=FCT0,FCT1,FCT2,FCT3

Please refer to the ISAPnP documentation of the kernel ISAPnP support of recent kernels (post-2.3.46). If you are using the Iomega Ditto Dash controller then all you need to do is to load ftape-internal.o with the option ft_fdc_pnp_vendor=a which will attempt auto-detection of some known PnP cards. Actually, the Ditto Dash controller is the only PnP card ftape-internal.o knows about at the moment.
