[PARPORT] ditto drives...

I'm starting in on building a linux driver for my ditto 1GB tape drive.
So far, all I've managed to do is install the DOS qbackup sw and crash
dosemu. When I run the compatbility test, it looks for the ditto drive,
and then dosemu crashes with this output:

ERROR: unexpected CPU exception 0x06 errorcode: 0x00000000 while in vm86
(DOS)

(I'm running dosemu 0.66.7.0)

I've made the following changes to my dosemu.conf file in order to get
access to the parallel port (from the dosemu-HOWTO.txt)

       ports { device /dev/lp0 fast range 0x3bc 0x3bf } # lpt0
       ports { device /dev/lp1 fast range 0x378 0x37f } # lpt1
       ports { device /dev/lp1 fast range 0x278 0x27f } # lpt2

Has anyone run into this before?

Thanks,

Hugo Trappe

PS: Mind you, I just installed dosemu last night, so most likely I'm
just being stupid about something trivial.
