The Ftape Tools Manual - Ftformat
While I'm pretty sure that ftformat works with `modern
' tape drives
and QIC-3020 cartridges (i.e. Travan-3
) cartridges, there
might be problems with older tape drives. Generally, a floppy tape drive
that is able to read and write 120MB QIC-80 (307ft) cartridges by
default will also be able to format those cartridges. Problems occur if
you try to format 425ft and 205ft cartridges with those tape drives. It
might not work. You have been warned.
