Hello!

I have been having problems with the Iomega Zip Drive.  It appears as /dev/ad2, not /dev/afd0.  Now, BIOS detects the device, and I suppose that's why I get a "removable hard disk" instead of the ide floppy I am supposed to get.  A different drive returned /dev/afd0, and the revision numbers on the devices are different:

  /dev/ad2 is revision B.27
  /dev/afd0 is revision 25D

Kernel :
  4.4-STABLE  (Compiled for multiple processors)

Motherboard:
  MSI 694D Pro, 2x (Pentium III @ 933Mhz), 512 Mb PC133 SDRAM

Is there a hack or something I can do to get the B.27 device to show up as an afd?  Something in the kernel source to alter before compiling?  Is there anything to help?

Note:  I am not a member of the list, so please "reply to all".

Joe
