    AFAIK the Backpack 800TD is supported by ftape-4.x (The ftape that
    comes with kernel is still version 3). Check

    http://www.LinuxTapeCert.org/techhelp.html

    for a step by step installation instruction.

    You can also visit the ftape homepage, but note that you need the
    "unstable" version as the 4.02 and 4.03pre* doesn't compile with
    2.2.xx or later. The URL is:
