FC2 and tape drives.

[Juan Pablo Claude]

Greetings out there:

	I have revived an old PC (Pentium II 350 MHz) to use as a home server 
and I installed FC2 on it. I have also installed a couple of tape 
drives to use for backup. One is an HP Colorado T3000, attached as a 
sole device to the on-board floppy disk controller. This drive works 
fine after I recompiled the kernel to include the ftape and zftape 
modules, and can be accessed as /dev/qft0 as expected. The issue is 
with the other drive, a Tecmar/Iomega Ditto Max Professional. This 
drive has an ISA plug-and-play accelerator board (Ditto Dash MX). Right 
now, the drive is not accessible, as I did not compile the ftape module 
to access the accelerator board (I had trouble doing that previously). 
However, I understand that ftape can support up to four  devices. Does 
anyone know of a way to activate both drives? I would really like to 
use the Tecmar drive as it is faster and has a higher capacity. 
Ultimately, the best scenario would be to be able to use both.

	The ftape documentation is outdated and somewhat intractable. I would 
appreciate any help you could give me. Thanks.
