Re: Iomega Ditto Easy 800 not detected by bpck-fdc (2)

I recently got my Ditto 800 working with the linux 2.2.19 kernel.
I had to recompile about a bagillion times.
Try loading all the modules in sequence.
don't build the parport and parport_pc modules into the kernel...load them seperately
and make sure and setup the appropriate parameters in /etc/modules.conf
don't load the ftape-compressor....it's not needed.

I honestly don't know how I got it to work, however I know I had to recompile the
kernel and the modules nearly a dozen times.

I'm still working on another colorodo trakker 250 tape drive that I can not get to
work.  I'm thinking of upgrading to a 2.2 kernel just to see if the support is better.
