I have an Exabyte Eagle TR-3 drive, and I had a look at the floppy tape situation a while back. The driver is.. well.. inadequate. It makes a lot of assumptions that are quite a few years incorrect. But they're probably still needed if someone has those old drives. New drives come in all sorts

I just finished looking in LINT for "ft" the floppy tape device. Now I remember some discussion of this being removed a while ago, but I do not remember the outcome of this. I am running a -curent system and was wondering what I sue for a floppy tape driver. --
