====== Message from Stephen Couchman 96.07.11 22:40 ====== I have installed a Jaz drive as sd1 (SCSI id #2). I am using an Adaptec 2940 Ultra SCSI host adapter. FreeBSD does not seem to recognize the drive and produces the following messages: (ahc0:2:0): "iomega jaz 1GB G.60" type 0 removable SCSI 2 sd1(ahc0:2:0): Direct-Access sd1(ahc0:2:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:24,0 Invalid field in CDB sd1 could not mode sense (4). Using ficticious geometry 1021MB (2091050 512 byte sectors) =========================================================== I just installed an IOMega parallel port Zip drive into my kernel. It's not part of FreeBSD, I just found the PPA-3 driver on someone's web page (Nicolas.Souchu@prism.uvsq.fr) -- who can't actively support it at this time. The instructions said that I'd get messages about ficticious geometry, since it "can't be sensed". I can still mount_msdos the drive on the 4th slice of the drive (sd0s4) with a working DOS ZipDisk and see the contents. The instructions said to fdisk-examine the drive to confirm which was the proper slice. I don't know about your other problems, since I'm new to FreeBSD and still fooling around with the ZipDrive. Currently the probe at boot time takes 2 minutes! I also haven't yet tried formatting it as a Unix disk. -regards, Nate Melhorn (n_melhor@chelmsford.telebit.com)
