I had a similar problem with my system when I first started using
the PPA 1.40 driver to access it. It turned out to be due to the
fact that my parallel port's EPP mode waas incompatible with that
expected by the driver - as soon as I changed the parallel port to
use ECP mode instead, the problems vanished.
If this is also your problem, then I can add that, whilst the data
on the disk at the time of the error occurring is lost, the disk
can be recovered by just reformatting it with either mke2fs or
mkdosfs as appropriate.
Best wishes from Riley.
