errr.... not that I've noticed. The -c seems only to
take effect for that session. If I reboot it gets lost.
Anyway, a helpful chap in the States eMailed with the
info to rebuild the kernel, which I did and it worked
first time ! Now I have a similar exercise to try out
with a Tecmar QT-125e tape. When the new kernel boots
it announces that it has found a Wangtek interface but
when I try to send data to the tape it compains about
various things (sorry, it's not the machine I use at
work) including magic numbers. If I _ever_ get the time
I may try writing a driver (I have done this in dos
before).
