I'll try to make this less restrictive, so this flag will no longer be needed for the ``more common'' tape drives. (It is needed for things like an Insight tape that require the motor lines to be enabled, and hence clash with connected diskette drives even during a false probe.) Yes, i know that the above fact is not documented in LINT, but there's already an open problem report for it (kern/40), so i'll close this one. (At least, you see: i sometimes happen to know which PR's are still open. :) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
