No. As I stated in my original posting, it is a limitation of the 'wfd' (ATAPI removable) driver. It looks like it'll be fixed soon. > Do the parallel/ATAPI zip drives support > slices? The parallel Zip is a SCSI unit, and is handled by the 'sd' driver. The ATAPI Zip is a slightly strange animal, but it looks as though it *should* work with the 'wfd' driver, modulo a few changes. To use Zip disks from other drives, one of these changes has to be support for slices. mike -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ Remember, the race is long, \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ and in the end it's only with yourself. \\
