Hi, michael!

Both is true. linux-tape (the mailing list) is for all tape drives, including IDE and SCSI devices, DLT, DDS (aka DAT), Travan cardridges ... . ftape (a driver) is needed to drive floppy tapes. Since floppy tapes are both cheap and problematic, they'll get the lion share round here. The rest more or less just work, so little time needs to be spent on them. However, if you have basic scsi problems (as opposed to those special to tape drives), they'd be better in a scsi list or newsgroup. -Wolfgang
