This HOWTO discuss the essentials of the do's and dont's for the
ftape
driver under Linux. The ftape
driver interfaces to
QIC-80 and QIC-40 compatible drives only. These drives connects via the
floppy controller. 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 the HOWTO's from
sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/doc/HOWTO
(this is the ``official''
place) or via the web from
the Linux Documentation home page
. You cannot rely on the HOWTO's
being posted to comp.os.linux.announce
, as some newsfeeds have
complained about their size.
