Well the ftape homepage is here, so that's a good start:

Hmmm, RPMS of the ftape driver?  I didn't even know they existed.  Unless
things have changed, I'm not sure if they would work very well.  Here's
what I recommend:

Grab the absolute latest ftape drivers (in the unstable/testing dir).

Make sure your current kernel has ftape support OFF.  You will also need
the source of your current kernel, then read the instructions and compile
the ftape drivers.

I would also grab the ftape tools, because things like ftmt work a little
better than generic mt with ftape.
