Well, my laptop only supports ECP and std bi-directional. Neither one works as it stands under 4.0. My zip drive is very important. In fact, the only reason i kept a windows partition around was for the zip drive. I removed in completely when i got my BIOS working correctly with the driver under 3.4. It was just a matter of tweaking the flags. Now i am back to no zip at all. > The code evolves at microscopic speed. In one word, i fear that N.

This is very sad. If no one has any intentions to fix it, i will have to reinstall 3.4 soon. jm -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Jonathon McKitrick -- jcm@freebsd-uk.eu.org I am a bomb technician.
