All right. I cloned Marcelo's 2.4 tree from bkbits.net this morning, and
sure enough, there are numerous changes with respect to the distribution
version of 2.4.20. I have updated my patch for the ide-tape driver
accordingly and attached it. Please don't tell me that yet more changes
have been made in the meantime -- it's very difficult to hit a moving
target! :-)
So far as I am aware, there have not been any changes to the 2.5.50
version of the driver, so the patch file I submitted earlier should still
apply.

P.S.: It is a considerable nuisance having to clone an entire kernel tree
just to get the current version of one file. Can anyone tell me if there
is a quicker, less bandwidth-intensive way of accomplishing the same
thing?
