or there is more needed to bring ide-tape to the world of living?
... and I'm afraid we'll have to do some serious bugfixing since this

Cool.
Has there been any movement on this in recent months? I gave 2.6.30 a whirl
on the machine when that was released but it still gave major problems with
the ide-tape driver. Is 2.6.32 likely to be improved? If so I'll make
arrangements to test that version.
Presently I'm stuck with 2.6.24.x on this system since ide-tape holds
together enough on this version to work. I really want to upgrade to a more
recent kernel but obviously I can't until ide-tape is functional again.
You could also try using libata instead of IDE drivers and see if they
work any better for you..
