I don't want to worry about ziptools, yet. But ppa3.c release 0.20 is now available as I promised it in my last mail. (http://www.prism.uvsq.fr/~son/ppa3.c) Now the system is not frozen when you use your ZIP drive. A timeout is scheduled for each scsi request, releasing then some CPU time. Thanks to Justin T. Gibbs precious help... ... > 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. Have you tried to disable the SCSI_DELAY in your MACHINE configuration file to get faster startup ? nicolas Nicolas.Souchu@prism.uvsq.fr
