I have a IOMEGA DITTO 2 GB internal tape drive connected to
the floppy disc controller.
I have downloaded the latest ftape (ftape-4.x-1999_02_08.tar.gz),
compiled the package and installed the modules and the devices.
I loaded the modules with the insert script in the modules directory.
mt -f /dev/qft0 status says:
