No problem. The wfd driver always says so when it found the ATAPI ZIP
drive. I have to add code to probe ZIP correctly. (^^;
#The wfd driver shows correct messages when it found the LS-120 drive.
I have a ATAPI ZIP drive now. I'm adding some code for the ZIP drive
to the wfd driver. After it, I'll feedback to FreeBSD.

Hmm... I don't know why.
I'll test if the ZIP drive works well with a CD-ROM drive.
Now, the ATAPI ZIP drive works with the wfd driver, but the driver may
have some problems on ZIP support.

It occurs when the ZIP disk has incorrect fdisk informatinos.
You need to execute 'fdisk wfd0' and create the FreeBSD slice on the
first time.

Try 'mount -t msdos /dev/wfd0s4 /mnt'.
