I have an Iomega Ditto Easy 3200 with the Ditto Dash 2 MB/s accelerator
card and have had no problems with ftape-3.04d. After reading this
thread, I recompiled the 2.2.6 kernel w/o tape support and installed
ftape-4.x-1999_03_29. I have tried over and over and mostly the drive
seems to be recognized but I can't get any operations to actually
execute. I keep getting messages like:
ftmt: /dev/nqft0: Input/output error
I checked the /proc entries and /proc/ftape/0/cartridge reported:
cartridge not formatted
However this cartridge worked fine with ftape-3.04d. Trying to format
gives:
Unknown format API version. Giving up.
Any ideas before I give up and return to 3.04d?
