using an Iomega parallet port tape drive

["John Anderson" <jkanders@alpha.delta.edu>]

I have an Iomega parallel port drive model no. ditto easy 3200.  I have
added support into the kernel for parallel port devices, ftape, ztape,
etc.

When I try to write to the tape I receive the following message:

kerr:~# tar cf /dev/qft0 home
tar: /dev/qft0: Cannot open: Device not configured
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
kerr:~#

and the floppy disk drive inside of the computer spins.  Any suggestions
would be appreciated.
