Physical hookup of ftape unit

Physical hookup of ftape unit

Post by Richard L. Goerwi » Sat, 23 Jul 1994 13:25:44



I've read through the HOWTOs and FAQs.  Hmmm.  Is there
a specific arrangement I must use for an ftape unit?  For
example, must I daisy chain it off the floppy controller
as if it were an extra drive, or can I just jumper it as
the b: drive (my system now has only a:) and let it go at
that?

1. Does ftape support 700 Mb units

Ftape support for 120Mb and 250Mb units (Colorado, Iomega etc) is well
documented on my Linux 1.1.59 Slackware 2 system (ftape HOWTO etc.)

My question is,

Does ftape support the new 350 and 700 Mb units and if so which ftape/Linux
versions do I need.

If not I guess I'll have to buy the 250Mb item 'cos I sure can't afford
to buy a DAT (sorry its DDS these days !) tape drive.

Thanks for any info

Nick
