The Ftape Installation and Usage Guide - Compiling ftape
Tell ftape to ignore the bad behaviour of the floppy disk
driver. If you don't want to use the patch contained in
[/usr/src/ftape-4.05/]patches/v2.0/floppy.c.dif,
then you should leave this option enabled. If you have applied
the patch, than please edit
[/usr/src/ftape-4.05/]MCONFIG
and remove the variable -DBROKEN_FLOPPY_DRIVER
. See v2.x.x.
At the time I'm writing this the latest version of the v2.1.x series of
the kernel is 2.1.115
which still suffers from certain bugs in
the floppy driver. You don't need the -DBROKEN_FLOPPY_DRIVER
directive for Linux v2.1.115
but should apply the patch anyway.
