Hello folks, I added an Everex 833 card and a wangtek tape drive to my system (AT - 286) and made the changes in master to enable the ev driver. I set it up to use interrupt 41 (2 -> 9) and thats what i used for the Everex diagnostics (IO addr = 0x300). Those run fine till the tape wears out. But using strm i have a stall condition. 2 times zsss (rewind ??) and then NOTHING. From root a echo >/dev/mt/reset makes the drive lite go out. But 2 strm's stay around. a kill gets 1 going and the other becomes orfand. Are there more thing i shound tweak??? (there was no doc on my 2.3 -> 2.4 upgrade and only a man page on strm(1) but not on tape(1). (that hangs too.) Regards and season greetings, gerard. PS, I reworked sendmail (5.58) to talk to uport 2.4 with Ecxelan and playes SMTP. (BSD out and sysv in (sockets)) Sources at wb3ffv BBS system in microport area in svsendmail.tar.
