Colorado Trakker for Linux

Driver for the parallel port Trakker 250/350

On this page you find information about 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.

As the driver is now part of the official ftape distribution you don't need to apply any patches. Note that the latest ftape is not part of the Linux Kernel, yet. You can download the latest version of ftape 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 browse the documentation online.
