Floppy Tape drivers for DOS or windows

I am trying to dump raw blocks from a floppy tape device to disk file
in a DOS/Windows environment.

I am having little luck.

I am unable to dd with mks as the floppy driver doesn't perform with
the tape drive.
Obviously I can't treat it like a scsi device.

Does anyone know of any functional drivers that will enable me to
essentially dd from a floppy tape device (Colorad 250 in this case.)

Ftape in linux would work I imagine, however getting it to compile and
work properly is a bear... at least for me. Plus I don't have any 2.4
kernels running on my dual 98/Linux box.

Any thought!?
Thanks.

Maybe try a live cd, like Knoppix?
