Are you using the DittoMax internal (second (ISA)) floppy controller, or
are you using the floppy controller that your computer uses to run your
floppy drive(s)? Now that Techmar has bought the Ditto drives from Iomega,
does anybody know a good (read: reasonably priced) source for tapes? I used
to be able to get them from Wal*Mart, paying 33-50% more for the same thing
isn't going over well with me.

Hi,
Am having a problem configuring the software for my Iomega internal tape
streamer. The device is connected correctly and I can force it to write
and read tapes.
However, before it will work (in fact before it will recognise that
there is a tape in the drive itself), I need manually to install modules
as follows:
insmod ftape
insmod zftape
and it works fine.
ftape.o is shown in the modules list as unused but zftape.o is not
included.
Would someone please tell me how to handle these modules so that I avoid
this manual operation and just can click on the mount/unmount tape
button for the tape to spring into life. It is no doubt somewhere in
the documentation but I cannot find it.
BTW congratulations to Mandrake on a very nice set of packages and the
easiest of Linux installation routines I have met.
Thanks for any assistance offered.
