        Hi,

        I'm trying to install ftape-4.x-beta8 inmy Linux V.2.0.34 and,
unfortunately, it doesn't work.

        I have a IOMEGA Ditto Easy800 connected to the 0x378 parport in
EPP mode. After the loading of modules "ftape" and "bpck-fdc", the kernel log shows this message (among others):

Jul 22 14:26:43 trillian kernel: [007] bpck-fdc.c (bpck_fdc_detect_bpck) - Wrong response. Expected 0x85 or 0x05, got 0x04.

        Bellow I put the complete information. What could be the problem?

------------------
Linux Version: 2.0.34
Distribution: Slackware 3.5 from Walnut Creek
Parallel Interface: EPP/SPP (BIOS configuration)
Tape drive: IOMEGA Ditto Easy800

COMMANDS executed in directory <ftape_dist_dir>/modules
