They must be bonkers to do it. I fixed a couple of bugs in ide-tape
and it was one of the worst drivers I worked on, ever (worse than
floppy.c, I kid you not). It definitely must die before ide-scsi.
Fortunately, I solved this issue by hooking my tape to USB bridge,
or else I'd be up in arms and wanting Tomo's blood.
