You will need to upgrade to -stable (or 2.2.6 when it is released). At this point in time, the driver in -stable is *broken* for the Zip. Some clarification of the boot messages (you appear to have confused "the device is detected" with "the device is handled by a driver"). > wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 on isa > wdc1: unit 0 (atapi): , removable, accel, dma, iordis The generic IDE code finds your second controller, and discovers an ATAPI device connected.

During testing, I have observed that the presence of an ATAPI Zip as a secondary unit has caused problems. If W95 works correctly on your system, it would be fair to characterise this as a defect in the FreeBSD ATAPI driver. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\
