tapes

[Brent Harding]

Ftape is something from the linux kernel source, it's a type of tape drive
hooked up to the floppy disk controller. I'm not sure if they're being made
any more, as it seems like places that have them have a hard time getting
rid of them. I basically got mine from a guy who switched his backup system
to some bigger system, sure they're not real costly if one can still find
them. I wanted it because it's hard to get a CD burner working in linux
that's using the USB port, as that's for kernel 2.4, which I've not yet
played with.
