I'm running Redhat 5.2 with the 2.2.0 kernel
I've configured ftape and this is what I get with an Iomega ditto
drive
Windows reports
Iomega tape accelerator
Type 82078-64
I/O range 0370-0375
IRQ 6
DMA 3
Tape Device
Iomega QIC-3020 v2
H/W version 30h
This is an attempt to use
[root@localhost src]# tar cvf /dev/ftape linux
tar: Cannot open /dev/ftape: Device not configured
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
This is /dev
[root@localhost src]# ls -l /dev/ftape
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Feb 16 22:56 /dev/ftape ->
rft0
[root@localhost src]# ls -l /dev/rft0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Feb 28 21:41 /dev/rft0 -> qft0
[root@localhost src]# ls -l /dev/qft0
crw------- 1 root root 27, 0 Feb 28 21:41 /dev/qft0
This is log/messages

I downloaded latest version and tried to build using make in
usr/src/ftape-4.02
gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer
-fno-strength-reduce
