I never got my  ftape v4.02 08/29/98 to work properly with my �teak 400/800
floppy tapedrive'. 

It would not append archives. 
It would not find filemarks like 'eom'.
I could do what I wanted like: 
                'ftmt - /dev/nqft0 fsf1' 
        or
                '/dev/nqft0 eom' etc, etc. 

I tried everything
  consulted the mailbox again and again.
Claus-Justus Heine asked for a 'var/log/messages'.
-Never heard anything from him.

I was so frustrated with Ftape that I gave up.

Now here is my Question.

Is there a hope that some newer ftape version will behave differently?
I got pretty frustrated with ftape
my tapedrive works flawless with win95
Shall I make a new try?
