OK, I found a development version of ftape that would compile under
Linux 2.2.
(As a reminder: I installed a Ditto Max + EZ PnP controller.)
After some tweaking, I got ftape to recognize the controller (see
attached logs), but it still fails to recognize the drive itself.
I followed the test script in the manual, and tried
`ftmt -f /dev/qft0 status'
I only got back: Device does not support operation. (It is a relief
after two days of `Device not configured', but still not a working
situation.)
Any hints to get things to work?
