hi there, i've got the ftape 4.02 and am trying to get it running on a 2.0.36 kernel but can't get the system to recognize my ditto dash controller which i am using for an iomega streamer. i downloaded your software, edited the mconfig where i took the data's from win95. that is 0x360, irq6, dma2. i did a make, a make install and installed the ftape-tools-1.07 as suggested in the install file. then i was very curious whether it would work, or not. #ftmt -f /dev/qft0 status ftmt: /dev/qft0: Die Operation wird von diesem Ger�t nicht unterst�tzt (that means: this operation is not supported by this device) root# well, it didn't. since then i tried almost everything to get it going. i did the rtfm and faq at least twice. i just couldn't find a single useful hint. in the /var/log/messages i found entries that may make sense to someone who knows what he is doing. these entries you can see in the file "log" that i attached to this mail. can you help me?
