Have you looked at the Ftape HowTo (http://www.redhat.com/mirrors/LDP/HOWTO/Ftape-HOWTO.html) or the Ftape homepage (http://www.instmath.rwth-aachen.de/~heine/ftape/)? There's lots of info there...

Ftape is already configured ( to the best that I can be sure with out using it) I'm trying to get linux to see the unit , which it must do before I can test the ftape

I think friebele has something there, I just looked at the std kernel config and I don't think it includes support for ftape devs. I'd go with the 2.2.12-20 kernel that is distributed with RedHat 6.1 though. It's on your OS CD and you can add the sources with rpm. If you've never built a kernel before you'll want to read the kernel howto (http://www.redhat.com/mirrors/LDP/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO.html)

Hmmm,,, You might have something there,, It does make sense,,thanks to all...
