Hi!
Below I've included a small patch to the floppy driver that makes it check for IO regions before doing any hardware probing. There could be conflicts between the floppy driver and the ftape driver when accidentally trying to access a floppy disk while the ftape driver was using the tape drive (or vice versa). My latest development version of the ftape driver also uses the check_region() calls before accessing hardware registers s.t. those conflicts should be solved.
Hopefully the patch doesn't hose up the floppy driver. It works for me, though. That patch is against 2.1.28. It applies also to 2.0.29, but I only tested it with 2.1.28.
Cheers
Claus
