Conner TR800 (was it ?), working fine (alas the noise...) under 2.2.0-pre6.

...etc, etc.
Only nit is that module count appears wrong for the hand-modprobed
zftape module (negative):
[root@dogbert /download]# lsmod
Module Size Used by
zftape 37740 -1
ftape 79708 0 (autoclean) [zftape]
ppp_deflate 39384 0 (autoclean)
bsd_comp 3484 0 (autoclean)
ppp 17288 0 (autoclean) [ppp_deflate bsd_comp]
slhc 4096 0 (autoclean) [ppp]
floppy 44088 0 (autoclean)
also, a Ctrl-C will scream:
