as this is likely re-wind device, maybe its qft0 ?
Maybe it's necessary to disable to kernel ftape stuff, recompile the
kernel without ftape,
then,
download the latest & greatest version of ftape, <make> then < make
install > ?
Find out which modules you need to run TEAC, for instance, my stinkin'
Ditto needs :-
#!/bin/bash
#
# Example module insertion script for ftape-4.x to use Parallel port
# drive based on the Shuttle BackPack interface.
#
insmod ./ftape.o ft_fdc_driver=bpck-fdc,none,none,none ft_tracings=3,3,3,3,3
insmod ./zftape.o ft_major_device_number=27 # ${27-FT_MAJOR}
#
# Make sure that you specifiy AT LEAST the IRQ for your parallel port. Also
# the ftape drivers work best if the parallel port is in EPP mode.
#
# Only include these insmod lines if you built parallel port support as a
# module under 2.2.x kernels.
#
insmod parport
insmod parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7
#
# Now, insmod the Backpack driver
#
insmod ./bpck-fdc.o # the Backpack protocol driver
