DAS16/16-A0

Eric:
many thanks for your reply. I tried - without success - your suggestion.
I'm using Fedora Core II, linux 2.6.9 with "-r9" ADEOS patch and RTAI 3.1.
Everithings works OK, I have developed many realtime parallel port RTAI
application using "paraport" Comedi device. I'm using also USB-DUX, a nice
USB 2.0 device; unfortunately works in "soft-realtime mode" only, because no
"kcomedilib" for USB yet.

So, I switched to PC-CARD device DAS16/16-AO.

I load the usual RTAI default module; after that I load

#modprobe -v cb_das16_cs

and the module is correctly loaded

[root_at_localhost das16]# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
cb_das16_cs            10180  0
comedi                 38016  1 cb_das16_cs
rtai_netrpc            22068  0
rtai_msg               19968  0
rtai_mbx               11712  1 rtai_netrpc
rtai_sem               19008  2 rtai_netrpc,rtai_mbx
rtai_fifos             36940  0
rtai_lxrt              73208  6
cb_das16_cs,rtai_netrpc,rtai_msg,rtai_mbx,rtai_sem,rtai_fifos
rtai_hal               26580  7
comedi,rtai_netrpc,rtai_msg,rtai_mbx,rtai_sem,rtai_fifos,rtai_lxrt
microcode               5536  0
uhci_hcd               30160  0
ehci_hcd               27972  0

The next step is

[root_at_localhost das16]# comedi_config /dev/comedi0 cb_das16_cs
Configure failed!: Input/output error
Check kernel log for more information
Possible reasons for failure:
  Driver not found
[root_at_localhost das16]#

This little bastard do not want do his job :(

#dmesg
...<omissis>...
comedi0: cb_das16_cs: comedi0: das16cs: remove

just does not make sense to me.

I tryed also to copy [comedi.conf], [comedi.conf] and [comedi] into
[/etc/pcmcia] Fedora directory.

Next week I need to chose between send back the card or pay 500 euro to
the local distributor. The card works with some bunch of code called
Windows, but unfortunately it is not a serious operating system.

I will very glad to anyone who send me a short recipe to cook this little
- but yet useless - slice of silicon, copper, alluminum and lead.
