I'm having problems getting ftape-4.x-1998_11_28 to work with my parallel
Iomega Ditto 2GB streamer. I attempt to access the streamer (i.e. mt -f
/dev/qft0 status) and get "/dev/qft0: No such device" after a long wait.
I'm using linux kernel 2.1.130. I'm using parport support (compiled into
the kernel, not compiled as a module) and parport detects the ports quite
happily on boot (although the Ditto doesn't answer the IEEE-1284 probe,
but I don't know if it should). The following is reported on boot:
------------------------------
parport0: PC-style at 0x378, irq 7 [SPP]
parport0: Printer, EPSON Stylus COLOR 600
parport1: PC-style at 0x278, irq 5 [SPP,PS2,ECP,ECPPS2]
parport1: no IEEE-1284 device present.
lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven).
lp1: using parport1 (interrupt-driven).
------------------------------
My Ditto is plujgged into /dev/lp1 and as you can see, I have a printer on
/dev/lp0.
my /etc/conf.modules contains:
------------------------------
alias char-major-27 zftape
options ftape ft_fdc_driver=bpck-fdc,none,none,none
------------------------------
When I attempt to access the streamer for the first time, I get the
following in the kernel's dmesg message queue:
------------------------------

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
