~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. single internal tape drive, FDC controller located at 0x4711,
using IRQ channel 42, and DMA channel 13
alias char-major-27 zftape
options ftape ft_fdc_driver=ftape-internal,none,none,none
options ftape-internal ft_fdc_base=0x4711 ft_fdc_irq=42 ft_fdc_dma=13
pre-install ftape-internal /usr/local/bin/swapout 15
Note the `swapout' program might be installed elsewhere than in
`/usr/local/bin/'. Or not installed at all. It is contained in the
`ftape-tools' package. See `./README'.

You probably should try to insert the modules manually for the first
tests. This gives you better control, and you know whether your
problems are caused by the auto-loading procedure or by the driver
itself.
Good luck.
And contact me again if it still doesn't work. I'm curious whether
this thing works on the alpha, too. It should as I changed the timeout
calibration not to use any hardware counters any more. But as it is a
long time since this beast has been used on an alpha machine.
