The BIOS only lists Disabled, BiDirectional, and EPP mode. The kernel found the port, but I got a bunch of vp0: timeout messages later during the boot. Could zip drive failures be related to not having a SCSI controller? The zip drive works fine in my other machine (that has a SCSI controller). -- Alan Edmonds, KB5ZUY Sterling Software M/S 132 Phone: +1-972-801-6485 5800 Tennyson Pkwy.
