It works quite well, but it is obsoleted by the ppbus-based vpo driver in -current. vpo drives both the old Parallel port Zip as well as the Jaz Traveller; ppa also works with these. The new Zip Plus is only supported in SCSI mode at the moment, although parallel support is under devlopment. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
