     Hi folks!

    I'm having this problem when insmod'ing the modules after a successful
    compilation under linux 2.2.17:

    # insmod ftape ft_fdc_driver=bpck-fdc,none,none,none

    # insmod zftape

    # modprobe parport

    # modprobe parport_pc io=0c3bc irq=7 dma=3

    # insmod bpck-fdc
    Using /lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/bpck-fdc.o
    bpck-fdc.c: bpck_fdc_register @ 0xc411a4c4
    parport0: unable to get hardware to register bpck fdc (ftape).
    parport0: unable to get hardware to register bpck fdc (ftape).
    parport0: unable to get hardware to register bpck fdc (ftape).
    parport0: unable to get hardware to register bpck fdc (ftape).

    I've attached a copy of the syslog (shortened a little to save space).

    Parport seems unable to find the ditto (or the parallel port hardware?).
    Before you start burning your brains let me tell you that I didn't find
    the original data cable of the ditto and replaced it with a home-made
    straight-thru cable (25 cables: 1 to 1, 2 to 2, ..., 25 to 25), as when
    looking for information on this topic, all
    oriented me into this. This configuration works well under windoze and I
    kept trying pretty hard to make this
    to work but I couldn't.

    I thanks in forward. Bye.
