I am using linux 2.0.36, a Ditto 2GB, and just installed ftape 4.02 +
zftape 1.06. To test the installation I requested status info:
ftmt -f /dev/ftape status and received: ftmt: /dev/ftape no such device.
/var/log/messages says: Unable to grab IRQ6 for ftape driver
the complete /var/log/messages is below
Thanks & regards, Wolfgang
