ftape works with tape drives connected to floppy controllers not IDE tapes.
Have used ftape with out any problem.

The real problem I'm having is finding any information on using Travan 8 gig
IDE
tape drives with Linux. These drives are very common and I need to be able
to
use these tape drives. The tape drives I'm using are HP and Seagate.

Any help or even a webb site to check would be welcome. Have look at several

webb sites and the only tape information is about ftape.
