Can you please help me out?
I'm using ftape 4.02 on kernel 2.0.36. It worked fine before I upgraded
from kernel 2.0.34. My drive is an Iomega Ditto 2GB (no Dash, just
standard FDC), which operates on DMA 3, IRQ 7, addr. 0x370. I installed
all the drivers and modules, but any attempt to access it brings the
following command-line response:
/dev/qft0: Device not configured
