I just bought a Ditto Max tape drive, and I installed it together with the tape controller (Ditto EZ PnP). I downloaded ftape-4.02, ftape-doc-4.x-1.03 and ftape-tools-1.07, as well as the newest isapnptools. I think I have worked out the PnP stuff, and now I only need to get the drive working. I read the FAQ, and it said ftape 4.02 is included in my kernel (2.2.2), so I tried that. After much frustration, I discovered this is not the fact, and the kernel only contains ftape-3.04d. So I unpacked the latest ftape, and I tried to compile that. After a few changes in the MCONFIG file (as mentioned in the INSTALL file), I typed `make', and got this error while compiling ftape/lowlevel/fdc-io.c: fdc-io.c: In function `fdc_interrupt_wait': fdc-io.c:433: structure has no member named `timeout' fdc-io.c:454: structure has no member named `timeout' When I compare the kernel source to that of v2.0.35, I saw that the field timeout in struct task_struct has been removed. -- G. ``Iggy'' Geens Home: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Work: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Home page: http://gallery.uunet.be/ggeens ``I was thinking about how everyone was dying and maybe it's time to live.'' - Eels
