Does anyone know how to get an Archive ft-60 tape drive to
work on u-port 386 ???. Archive sent me drivers but no instructions.
When I called them they said they never supported u-port 386, yet
I have a distribution disk from them labeled u-port 386. On an
old ad in unix-world they list u-port as supported. but there new
add makkes no mention of microport. Microport comes with the BSH
program evinstaLL which used ev.o and config in the atconf directory
Archive supplied the files ft.o and config. I tried renaming the
files and using evinstall but the 386 hangs when I call for a tape
function. Has anyone installed an FT-60 on U-port???
thanks

I got the drivers directly from Microport (just before their unfortunate demise). If you call them, you still might be able to get it. ---- Larry Jones UUCP: uunet!sdrc!scjones SDRC scjones@SDRC.UU.NET 2000 Eastman Dr. BIX: ltl Milford, OH 45150-2789 AT&T: (513) 576-2070 "You know how Einstein got bad grades as a kid?

The documentation with the u-port QIC-02 tape driver says that it supports Archive SC499 and Archive SC499R QIC-02 tape controllers. Note that the driver they shipped with Version 3.0e is bogus. You need to call them and ask them to send you the version that works. Disclaimer: I have an Everex tape drive, so all I can do is quote the documentation relating to Archive devices.
