I am trying to configure ftape-4.02 to run a Ditto Max tape drive with a Ditto Dash DX controller card. I compiled the software and attempted to install it last night, but things are not working. Following are copies of the pertenent configuration files and a script of my installation of the module, some simple testing (failed) and a look at some of the /proc files. Does anyone have an idea what I did wrong? My guess is that it is something to do with the PNP configuration of the Dash card. I haven't a clue where PNP configuration is conserned.

# Hardware configuration for the floppy tape drive.
#
# You need to take care of the following options if you didn't connect
# your floppy tape to the standard floppy controller, i.e. if you
# didn't plugged the floppy tape into the floppy controller already
# contained in your computer system.
#
# Short description of available options
# (`FDC' stands for `Floppy Disk Controller')
#
# PROBE_FC10 - if defined will look for a FC-10 (or FC-20)
# card.
# FDC_BASE - sets base address if using non-standard fdc
# FDC_IRQ - sets interrupt if FDC_BASE is defined
# FDC_DMA - sets dma channel if FDC_BASE is defined
# MACH2 - Support for Mountain MACH-2 controller. You
# have to specify its base address (either
# 0x1E0 or 0x3E0).
# CLK_48MHZ - must be defined and set to 0 if your 82078
# is _not_ being run from a 48 Mhz clock
# oscillator. Normally you don't need to worry
# about it.
#
#
#
# If you're using a non-standard floppy disk controller for the tape
# drive, enable one (only!) of the following lines and set the
# FDC_BASE, FDC_IRQ and FDC_DMA parameters to the actual values.
#
# `enable' means: `uncomment one of the lines starting with
# "FDC_OPT = ..."'. `uncomment' means: remove the leading `#'
#
# The following values hopefully reflect the default settings for
# those controllers.
#
# Note1: A FC-10/FC-20 controller must use either of DMA 1, 2, or 3.
# DMA 5 and 7 does NOT work!.
#
# Note2: IRQ 2 and IRQ 9 can be considered the same. When using IRQ 2
# on a controller you must specify IRQ 9 here!
#
# Note3: *_ALL_* parameters can as well be set as module parameters
# during module loading. This means that the following values
# only give the defaults in case you load the modules without
# any parameters.
#
# Note4: The "..._DEV=0" lines determine which device nodes to use
# with which floppy tape controller (/dev/qft0, ...,
# /dev/qft3). In case you have an internal floppy tape plugged
# into the standard floppy controller and a parallel port
# floppy tape drive, then leave the "STD_DEV=0" line as it is
# and uncomment either the option settings for the Trakker or
# the BackPack tape drive and set either "TRAKKER_DEV=1" or
# "BPCK_DEV=1" to use the parallel port tape drive using
# "/dev/qft1".

# Generic ftape options.
#
# Valid ftape options are:
#
# GCC_2_4_5_BUG - must be set if using gcc-2.4.5 to prevent
# bad assembler-code for the dma
# handling. Type `gcc --version' to determine
# the version of gcc.
#
# CONFIG_FT_PROC_FS - enables proc interface (read-only) to provide
# information about kind of tape drive, data
# rate etc. Consumes about 2 kb of memory.
# Make sure to read the file `BUGS' before
# enabling this option. THIS WILL NOT WORK
# with Linux v1.2.13 (and older) kernels. It
# is safe to use this option with v2.1.x and
# later kernels
#
# BROKEN_FLOPPY_DRIVER - leave this defined if you DON'T apply the patch
# `patches/v2.0/floppy.c.dif' to the floppy
# driver of the standard kernel distribution.
# If you DON'T apply my patch, then you
# definitely need this switch if you want to
# create an emergency (rescue) disk with
# ftape. DON'T define this if you are running
# v2.1.x or later kernels. But if you are
# running v2.1.115 (maybe also v2.1.116) or
# previous kernels of the 2.1.x series, then
# consider applying the patch
# `patches/v2.1/floppy.c.dif' to your kernel.
