I have been looking at this, in what passes for free time. I haven't mailed you back simply because I haven't had any real success yet. Much of this has been due to attempting to work with an ATAPI Zip which has been performing oddly. One significant defect in your driver is that you do not support slices. This makes it impossible to use the driver for things like Zip disks which come partitioned like harddisks. Could you perhaps look into adding slice support? Thanks, mike
