I have a Seagate 63200P which is a parallel port ftape drive, I believe
compatible with ditto 3200. I installed ftape device with this in my
conf.modules

alias char-major-27 zftape
options ftape ft_fdc_driver=bpck-fdc,none,none,none

but when I access the device I get errors from bpck-fdc, (refer to the
error messages in the next paragraph). I tried using trakker and got
similar (checksum) errors. I have checked that it is trying to grab 0x378
which is the correct IO Base, I dont think it is using an IRQ. Can someone
identify what it is, or point me to the right direction.
