I seem to have hit a wall in my attempt to use the ftape driver with
DittoMax and a Siig EPP card in a Compaq DeskPro. Here's the current
diagnosis:
The module bpck-fdc.c contains a line of source that looks like this:
handler(fdc);
Its purpose is to call a function pointed to by the function pointer
"handler". As far as I can tell, it behaves the following way when
handler points to the function fdc_isr():
1) If fdc->fifo_locked is 0, fdc_isr is called.
2) If fdc->fifo_locked is 1, fdc_isr is not called.
There is no obvious reason for this logic, but that seems to be what's
happening and seems to be the cause for my lack of a working tape
drive. Any insights into what's going on here would be most welcome.
