you do not need zft-compressor, as that compression code is not implemented
any more

I myself have never managed to get that bloody ditto working WITH the parport
module having been loaded; and I am still forced to unload the whole
parport stuff if I want to access my ditto max external.

have you enabled procfs in your MCONFIG file? And try to load all of the three
modules without parport and parport_pc.

yes, first you have to get the loading procedure working without
error messages; then try to access your tape drive via ftmt (included
in the ftape-tools).

yes, I do think the parport module has to be unloaded.
