ftape-HOWTO
v1.9, 20 September 1996 for ftape-2.08
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.
This is but one of the Linux HOWTO documents. You can get an index of
the HOWTOs from
the Linux HOWTO index, while the real HOWTO's can be fetched (using
ftp) from sunsite.unc.edu:pub/Linux/doc/HOWTO (this
is the ``official'' place) or via the World Wide Web from
