Agreed. Any ideas on this one? BTW, my previous problems were due to an
incorrect combination of irq and dma settings for parport_pc.
Now, I am getting a "No such Device" error when I try "ftmt -f /dev/qft0

...

bpck-fdc 32292 0

parport 7156 1 [bpck-fdc parport_pc]
zftape 88940 -1
ftape 147832 0 [bpck-fdc zftape]
The log looks normal after installation of the modules, but lists a
bunch of error messages as a result of the ftmt command ...
