Well, I just compiled the unstable version of ftape. I use Debian 2.1
with kernel 2.2.12. Everything compiled cleanly, or so it seems. I am
trying to get my iomega ditto max parallel port version to work with
I install modules in the following order.
insmod ftape
insmod zftape
insmod bpck-fdc
Then I try " tar df /dev/qft0 " and it says
tar: Cannot open /dev/qft0: Operation not supported by device
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Then I looked at dmesg, and it gave me lines like the following.

How do I configure this?
