Ftape is something from the linux kernel source, it's a type of tape drive hooked up to the floppy disk controller. I'm not sure if they're being made any more, as it seems like places that have them have a hard time getting rid of them. I basically got mine from a guy who switched his backup system to some bigger system, sure they're not real costly if one can still find them. I wanted it because it's hard to get a CD burner working in linux that's using the USB port, as that's for kernel 2.4, which I've not yet played with.
