Greetings!
I am new to Linux, so I ask for your indulgence. :)
I am trying to install the newest ftape on my SuSE LINUX v6.1 system
and can't seem to get past the compile stage.
I have an Acer AMD-K2 266 MHz with it's basic FDC and an Exabyte TR-3
tape drive. It has a PCI and ISA bus.
Linux Kernel v2.2.5
gcc v2.91.66
ftape v4.02
Here is a diff between the original MCONFIG and my changes, I selected
an AMDK6 and turned on MODVERSIONS:
145c145
< CONFIG_M486=y
---
> #CONFIG_M486=y
148c148
< #CONFIG_MAMDK6
---
> CONFIG_MAMDK6
150c150
< #CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y
---
> CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y
Here is the screen clip after a "make" which generates the compile time
error:

Does anyone know what is wrong with the code in fdc-io.c for the
"current" structure that has an element called "timeout"?
Thanks for any suggestions or pointers!
