Hello!

I have a little(?) problem with ftape for linux.

My hardware: iomega ditto 2GB and ditto dash controller. Kernel 2.0.35

The tape is running fine under normal conditions (booting from harddisk).
But i want to create a boot-disk for restoring the tapes to disk, thats
the problem. The ftape-modules are loading fine if i access the tape after
booting from floppy-disk.

If i try to access the content of the tape (for ex. with ftmt), there is
an error after a while, repeating until killing ftmt:
--------[ error message ]------
ftape-rw.c (ftape_start_tape) - incerased threshold because of excessive
overrun errors
-------------------------------

what does this mean? any solution?
remember, if i boot from harddisk i have no problem with the tape...
...and the tape drive is not connected to the floppy controller! 


Are there any ready-for-action boot disk images with ftape modules for
download? where?


greetings,
Alexander.
