This can safely be ignored (if everything else works). Problem is that
the Ditto EZ controller behaves a little bit different in some
respects. Maybe there are some points in the code of ftape where I
tried to compensate for those peculiarities but ended with code
working for both -- normal fdc controllers and THAT Ditto EZ --
leaving some superfluous messages for the "normal" case.
