Have you tried installing the ftape driver on a pre-2.6 kernel Linux?
Old versions of NetBSD had a similar driver installation (used it, but
don't recall the details--probably sometime around NetBSD 5 being the
last one).
Sometime after the 2.6 Linux kernel, the support for ftape was dropped
completely.
Another option might be to look for "hook APIs" in the DOS version of
the Irwin software.
