Great, i just get a tape on last thursday. A cipher m990 & dilog dq132
controller which should emulate the TSV05. I tried to compile the kernel
with TSV05, got some warnings, but the kernel crashes during boot & acces
to the tape controller. I haven't checked it further, because my last
compile (source date 5.dec) seems not to work well anyway. If someone is
interested, i check it tomorrow again with the tar_files of this night
(saturday/sunday)
cheers,
