EDT 1999 root@[....]:/usr/src/sys/compile/EARTH i386
>Description:
The current revision of /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/wfd.c does not properly
detect all buggy ATAPI Zip Drive firmware revisions. Currently, the
driver checks to see if the drive is a Zip Drive using:
if (!strcmp(ap->model, "IOMEGA ZIP 100 ATAPI")) {
then sets t->maxblks = 64. I own an OEM Zip Drive (NEC) whose inquiry
is: <IOMEGA ZIP 100 ATAPI Floppy/12.A>. Since this drive
is not detected as a Zip Drive using the current method, and has buggy
firmware, it will lock up when t->maxblks is > 64.
>How-To-Repeat:
1) Attach an ATAPI Zip Drive to the system with an inquiry string slightly
different than what is currently tested for, such as:
<IOMEGA ZIP 100 ATAPI Floppy/12.A>
versus a 'normal' Zip Drive:
<IOMEGA ZIP 100 ATAPI/13.A>
>Fix:
Apply the following patch. This patch limits the test for a Zip Drive,
to the first 11 characters using strncmp; same as Soren Schmidt's test
in the new atapi-fd drivers. This patch applies to /sys/i386/isa/wfd.c
