Alex, I'd obviously like your code - and | anyone else that's using it, please send me your diffs from the | original. Alex: Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have got the zip drive working here. For anybody looking at the code, I used his #define values for timeouts and his self-described "hack," but left the other code as it was originally, to get a working 2.1.0 driver (yes, I'm living the past; one reason I want a zip drive is to back up so I can update my O/S). I will be happy to send diffs (either relative to the origianl ppa3.c or to Alex's version), but I believe that the upshot of what I left and what I kept is that I have Alex's fix to make it work with my hardware without the changes for 2.2-ALPHA, but since 2.1.6 is the final, put-to-bed 2.1 (right?), I don't think the that the version I'm running is of widespread interest, is it? Anyway, I'm quite happy. Thanks for the help! -- Brian T. Schellenberger, the Man from Babble-On.
