I have a Colorado 1400 floppy tape drive and an FC-20 floppy controller.
I use QIC-3020 650MB tapes from 3M (Imation) (MC3000XL). It all works
fine under Linux and AMANDA. I have posted a detailed message to this
list about compilation of ftape for use with AMANDA on Oct. 25th 2000.

ftape is actively maintained on linux by Claus-Justus Heine. There is a
mailing list (linux-tape) which will certainly answer your questions.
Check the Linux Ftape Homepage at
http://www.instmath.rwth-aachen.de/~heine/ftape. AMANDA works fine with
ftape under Linux. I will be glad to help where I can to get this work
for you too.
