Alan Cox and lkml:
I have accumulated a series of changes for the ide-tape driver. They
address a number of problems, but primarily they fix the use of DMA (which
did not work at all previously) and the handling of filemarks. These
changes are essential for use of my Seagate TapeStor 20GB ATAPI drive.
There doesn't seem to be an official maintainer for the ide-tape driver,
although Willem Riede handles the OnStream maintenance. I have sent my
changes to him for testing, and he has said that they work properly on his
system. Therefore I am sending my patches to the list for any additional
testing and to you for inclusion in the official kernel source.
Thank you.
Alan Stern
