Good day to all,
I am not a subscriber to this list and I hope the following
is appropriate. If not, my apologies now.
I have been using Linux at home for over 3.5 years with
no tape backups because I have been lucky with hardware
and lucky with choosing the proper OS.
I don't expect my luck with hardware to continue much longer.
I presently run kernel 2.2.10 and have an iomega 800M parallel
port drive and do not see the obvious setup within the kernel for
this type (based on the info in the source it looks like 3.xx ftape).
I downloaded ftape-4.03 (pre1 I think - I'm doing this from memory
as I'm not at home with the system) and attempted to compile it for
the iomega as modules.
In /lowlevel fdc-io.c i recieved an error that said timeout was not part
of
structure fdc_interrupt_? (again, all from memory). I read fdc-io.h and
fdc-io.c and see time and not timeout as part of the function.
I read the faq and ftape.txt and didn't see anything on this, but may
have missed it. (It was late and I was a little burnt from going through
the source).
Do I change it? I am not much of a programmer and don't want to
screw it up.
Or is there a solution in the kernel source itself?
Any help/criticism/etc is appreciated. Please e-mail me directly at
[EMAIL PROTECTED] or

Thank you.
JC
