It isn’t possible to format Ditto 2GB tapes with Ditto 2GB tape drive, and it isn’t possible at all to re-format Ditto 2GB tapes in a way that they still can be used by a Ditto 2GB tape drive. This is a hardware limitation of the Ditto 2GB tape drive. It can’t be helped at the software level, i.e. it isn’t ftape’s fault.
