I still have the Irwin software somewhere. There also appears to be a copy of Irwin Eztape for DOS/Windows online at WinWorld PC https://winworldpc.com/product/ez-tape/3x-win Doubtless there are other copies out there. For these old floppytape drives and Linux, you need to go back to a very old version of Linux, say, Debian Sarge and install and configure the ftape driver software. I believe that you need a Linux with a kernel earlier than 2.6. --Chuck
