ftape-HOWTO
v1.53, 2 July 1995 for ftape-2.03b
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 `QIC-WIDE'. 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.
