There is literally a GitHub repository, six years old, that ports an out-of-tree ftape driver to modern Linux:

https://github.com/Godzil/ftape

Could it be that Misanthropic has trained on that one?

Ouch. The part where it says it’s not possible to use a normal floppy and the tape flip anymore seemed odd enough, but those last points should scare anyone away from trying these on anything important.

		Yes, Godzil's repo could have the issues you point out but still give hints to Claude what APIs to replace. Or the latest possibly-Claude-plagiarized version perhaps has the same issues.
