I have a Ditto Max on lp0 under parport. Here's the specs:
ftape version: ftape-4.x-1998_12_18 (which I've heard should work with
Ditto Max. I couldn't get ftape-4.03-pre-2 to compile)
kernel version: 2.2.0-pre7
conf.modules excerpt:
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=5
alias char-major-27 zftape
options ftape ft_fdc_driver=bpck-fdc,none,none,none
(yes, I'm running lp0 on irq 5. There's a conflict on irq 7 that I
haven't been able to track down yet. parport prints fine on lp0)
/var/log/messages excerpt (with datetime removed for clarity):

Everything seems to work (if slowly), but all these errors seem very
bad. When I tar to the tape, it works, but I get tons of:
fdc-io.c (fdc_seek) - fdc_interrupt_wait(fdc, 2 * 1000) failed: -62.
ftape-io.c (ftape_report_operation) - ftape_command(ftape, command) failed: -62.
ftape-io.c (ftape_report_error) - errorcode: 8.
enable_irq() unbalanced from 00000005
Don't think I'm ungrateful for it working, but this seems really bad.
What are all these errors? Should I be using a different version of
ftape?
Thanks,
Rob
