HP Colorado Trakker driver for Linux

On this page you find an extension of the Linux Ftape driver that supports the Colorado Trakker. It should work with all versions of the Trakker (tested with 250 and 350), but not with the T1000e.

• The Linux Tape Certification Program - On this page you can find information about tapes supported by linux and hints to solve problems with ftape. This page is much more uptodate than the Ftape Homepage, so you should really visit it.

• The Ftape Homepage - On this page you can find the latest ftape version, an online version of the manual and links to various other pages.

• The Ftape-FAQ
• Linux Parallel Port Homepage - On this page you can find everything about parallel port devices for Linux.

Since ftape-4 parallel port is included, so you don't need any patch anymore. You can even use the Trakker and an internal floppy tape drive simultanously. You can download the latest version from the FTape Homepage. You can also find a very good documentation on this page.
For information, how to use this drive read the documentation for ftape-4.x! You can also browse the documentation online.
