ftape-HOWTO
v1.7, 28 January 1996 for ftape-2.06
This HOWTO discuss the essentials of the do's and dont's for the
ftape driver under Linux. The ftape driver interfaces to
QIC-40, QIC-80, QIC-3010 and QIC-3020 compatible drives only. The QIC-3010 and
QIC-3020 standards are also known as `Travan' (TR-2 and TR-3). These drives
connects via the floppy disk controller (FDC). It does not cover
SCSI or QIC-02 tape drives. DAT tape drives usually (always?) connect to a
SCSI controller.
