Hi all,

I'm trying to get my old parallel port ZIP drive working with no luck.

I've included the scbus, da, and vpo in my kernel config as per the
instructions.  The drive works under linux so I'm sure the hardware
is okay.

The boot messages are as follows:
ppc0: <Parallel port> at port 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa0
ppc0: Generic chipset (EPP/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode
ppi0: <Parallel I/O> on ppbus0
vpo0: <Iomega VPI0 Parallel to SCSI interface> on ppbus0
vpo0: EPP mode
lpt0: <Printer> on ppbus0
lpt0: Interrupt-driven port
ad0: 29333MB <WDC WD307AA> [59598/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA66
acd0: CDROM <CD-ROM Drive/F5A> at ata1-master PIO4
vpo0: VP0 error/timeout (5)
vpo0: VP0 error/timeout (5)
vpo0: VP0 error/timeout (2)
vpo0: VP0 error/timeout (5)
vpo0: VP0 error/timeout (5)
vpo0: VP0 error/timeout (5)
vpo0: VP0 error/timeout (5)
vpo0: VP0 error/timeout (5)
vpo0: VP0 error/timeout (5)
vpo0: VP0 error/timeout (2)
vpo0: VP0 error/timeout (5)
vpo0: VP0 error/timeout (5)
vpo0: VP0 error/timeout (5)

And when I try to mount the device:

# mount_msdos /dev/da0s4 /zip
mount_msdos: /dev/da0s4: Device not configured

I've tried using vpo as a module and as built-in with
identical results.

Any clues much appreciated!
