Floppy Tape drivers for DOS or windows
|

| I am trying to dump raw blocks from a floppy tape device to disk file
in a DOS/Windows environment.
I am having little luck.
I am unable to dd with mks as the floppy driver doesn't perform with
the tape drive.
Obviously I can't treat it like a scsi device.
Does anyone know of any functional drivers that will enable me to
essentially dd from a floppy tape device (Colorad 250 in this case.)
Ftape in linux would work I imagine, however getting it to compile and
work properly is a bear... at least for me. Plus I don't have any 2.4
kernels running on my dual 98/Linux box.
Any thought!?
Thanks.

Maybe try a live cd, like Knoppix?

Not a bad idea... I think I will give it a whirl. Thanks for the
suggestion.
