Subject: ftape new web address

Hi,

the attached patch for 2.4.22 fixes the web address of the ftape driver.
Why does the kernel still contain version 3.0.4 when 4.0.4a is the
current one?

It should apply for kernel 2.6, too.

Regards,
hjb

It never got merged for 2.4. Long history. For 2.6 if you want to pick
up the updates and merge them go for it although floppy tape is kind of
dead technology now

I still use it, and I'm interested if anyone gets it working for
2.6.
