4.3: Known problems with ftformat

While I'm pretty sure that ftformat works with `modern' tape drives and QIC-3020 cartridges (i.e. Travan-3) cartridges, there might be problems with older tape drives. Generally, a floppy tape drive that is able to read and write 120MB QIC-80 (307ft) cartridges by default will also be able to format those cartridges. Problems occur if you try to format 425ft and 205ft cartridges with those tape drives. It might not work. You have been warned.
