Hi. I'm trying to get my Backpack 250mb parallel-port tape backup drive working
in Linux, and not having much success. Everything is peachy until I load the pt
module, and then I get this message (with verbose=1)

root!Phaktory:~# insmod pt verbose=1
pt: pt version 1.02s, major 96
pt0: bpck: 0x378 unit 1 mode 0: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 31pt0: bpck: 0x378 unit 1 mode 1: 0 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 6 7 7 8pt0: bpck: 0x378 unit 1 mode 2: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16pt0: bpck: 0x378 unit 1 mode 3: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16pt0: bpck: 0x378 unit 1 mode 4: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16pt0: bpck 1.01, backpack TAPEDRIV unit 1 at 0x378, mode 4 (EPP-32), delay 1

pt0: Reset (31) signature = 63 0 fc 0 ff (incorrect)
pt: No ATAPI tape drive detected

The model number from the Backpack drive is 142080, I'm running Debian Linux 2.1
(slink), on a 2.0.35 kernel.
