I am new to this list and I am not sure that my first message made it to the
list so here it is again, sorry if it gets sent twice....
Hi, I recently dowloaded the archives/ftape-4.x/unstable/ftape-4.x.1999_09_11.tar.gz
sources and compiled it on my system (Redhat 6, kernel 2.2.5-15).
When I load the modules (using ./modules/insert) fdc-parport
cant find my Iomega DittoMax paralell tape drive.
I get the folowing log:
Sep 26 00:42:28 citation kernel: [090] fdc-io.c (fdc_register) - Probing for
bpck-fdc tape drive slot 1.
Sep 26 00:42:29 citation kernel: parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [SPP,PS2,EPP]

Sep 26 00:42:29 citation kernel: [096] 1 bpck-fdc.c (bpck_fdc_detect) -
ft_parport_probe(fdc, &bpck->parinfo) failed: -6.
I had it running fine under 2.0.36 with ftape 4.03-pre-2.
Sounds like an interrupt problem?
Any help will be greatly appreciated
