I have an IDE CD-ROM as the master and an Iomega 100MB ZIP IDE drive as the slave on my second controller. Before I installed the Zip drive, the CD-ROM functioned correctly. When I add the Zip drive, I cannot access either device; disklabel -r and mount both hang, and sometimes (well - usually) crash the OS. Here is the DMESG output, and two attempts at a kernel configuration file; neither work. OS version is 2.2.1. Can anyone advise me if these two devices can work on the same controller, and if so, how I can do it? I would appreciate parameters for disklabel and newfs if I can get that far. Will an upgrade to 2.2.5 or even 3.0 fix the problem? Both devices are seen correctly by Windows 95, which configured itself automatically to my annoyance! I can only use the Zip drive for backup by: a) Writing a tar file to the MS-DOS file system b) Opening the case and plugging in the Zip drive c) Booting Win95 and copying the file. Not a convenient or dignified procedure! --------------------------------------------------------------------- DMESG output wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): <Conner Peripherals 420MB - CFS420A> wd0: 406MB (832608 sectors), 826 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S wdc0: unit 1 (wd1): <NEC Corporation DSE1700A> wd1: 1627MB (3332448 sectors), 3306 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 on isa wdc1: unit 0 (atapi): <MATSHITA CR-583/1.05>, removable, accel, dma, iordis wcd0: 1378Kb/sec, 128Kb cache, audio play, 256 volume levels, ejectable tray wcd0: 120mm data disc loaded, unlocked wdc1: unit 1 (atapi): <IOMEGA ZIP 100 ATAPI/23.D>, removable, intr, iordis ie0 not found at 0x360 --------------------------------------------------------------------- First attempt: controller wdc0 at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14 vector wdintr disk wd0 at wdc0 drive 0 disk wd1 at wdc0 drive 1 controller wdc1 at isa? port "IO_WD2" bio irq 15 vector wdintr disk wd2 at wdc1 drive 0 disk wd3 at wdc1 drive 1 options ATAPI #Enable ATAPI support for IDE bus options ATAPI_STATIC #Don't do it as an LKM device wcd0 #IDE CD-ROM # device wcd1 #Iomega Zip drive --------------------------------------------------------------------- Second attempt: controller wdc0 at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14 vector wdintr disk wd0 at wdc0 drive 0 disk wd1 at wdc0 drive 1 controller wdc1 at isa? port "IO_WD2" bio irq 15 vector wdintr disk wd2 at wdc1 drive 0 disk wd3 at wdc1 drive 1 option ATAPI #Enable ATAPI support for IDE bus options ATAPI_STATIC #Don't do it as an LKM device wcd0 #IDE CD-ROM device wcd1 #Iomega Zip drive
