Everything seems to work well, with the exception of my Iomega Zip 100MB ATAPI drive. My second IDE controller has a CD-ROM as master, and the Zip drive as slave. They are both detected at boot time,as below: wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): wd0: 406MB (832608 sectors), 826 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S wdc0: unit 1 (wd1): wd1: 1627MB (3332448 sectors), 3306 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 on isa wdc1: unit 0 (atapi): , removable, accel, dma, iordis wcd0: 1378Kb/sec, 128Kb cache, audio play, 256 volume levels, ejectable tray wcd0: 120mm data disc loaded, unlocked wdc1: unit 1 (atapi): , removable, intr, iordis wfd0: medium type unknown (no disk) ## There WAS a disk in it! ## wfd0: buggy Zip drive, 64-block transfer limit set ie0: unknown board_id: f000 I rebuilt the kernel with the following: options ATAPI #Enable ATAPI support for IDE bus options ATAPI_STATIC #Don't do it as an LKM device wcd0 #IDE CD-ROM device wfd0 #Iomega Zip drive When I attempt to mount either the CD-ROM or the ZIP drive, mount hangs, and I have to interrupt it with ctrl-C. If I do this a second time, the system crashes. (X stops. Attempts to log on through another tty don't work - characters entered after the login prompt just get echoed to the screen. It is big red switch time!) If I disconnect the CD-ROM and make the Zip drive the master, things seems a tiny bit better. When I attempt a disklabel, I get: /home/mike% disklabel -r -w wfd0 auto disklabel: /dev/rwfd0c: Undefined error: 0 The light on the drive blinks once. mount -t msdos /dev/wfd0 /mnt doesn't work either. There was a disk in the drive at all times. Both drives work under Win95, to my distress. Any suggestions, please? 2.2.6 doesn't seem much better to me than 2.2.5 for handling this drive.
