They are both detected at boot time,as below: ... > wfd0: medium type unknown (no disk) ## There WAS a disk in it! ## 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.

It is big red > switch time!) 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. > 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. 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. > mount -t msdos /dev/wfd0 /mnt doesn't work either. Try 'mount -t msdos /dev/wfd0s4 /mnt'. ^^^^^^ --- Junichi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
