I'm using an external ZIP, attached to a 1542 SCSI adapter. | |My kernel is a 2.2.1-R with a patch to recognize the ZIP as an "od" | |device. | | I cannot manually eject it. Only computer generated eject commands | | have this behaviour. | |Ah, understood. That's a bugfeature of the driver, copied from the |CD-ROM driver. It would probably be a simple matter to fix it in |od(4), but more complicated to fix it in cd(4). The various CD |players basically rely on the misconception that they can eject a CD |while the device is open. Is it possible to eject a ZIP via S/W when using the "sd" driver? Randall Hopper
