Can't answer that one, never tried it. Not even sure if . Hehe,
nor would I want to :-) There's no ntfs module at ftp.toms.net,
and I can't recall if ntfs support was ever available in the 2.0.x
kernels, and if it was then it was considered "highly
experimental". If you really want ntfs support, I would strongly
suggest using tomsrtbt with a 2.2.x or 2.4.0pre kernel.

Yes indeed. Load the parport_pc module, followed by ppa (using
modprobe is often more useful than insmod), then it should show as
the next available /dev/sd? block device. Works well. (Oh, no
parport_pc module, so the parport driver must already be compiled
in).
