Whan I last looked at the ide-tape driver , which was back in 2.2, it looked like the big problem was actually=20 in it error handling , rather than anywhere else. I don't think it has been changed significantly it that regard since. IIRC , the behaviour which appeared to be caueing me a problem was that some slow driver would be busy long for ide-tape to get bored. It also didn;t like getting error codes which weren't spelled out it the quik spec. The common travan mechanism I get lots of here, spits out quite a few of those.
