Ok, cool. Thanks to a couple of fine folks on this list, I now have my zip drive working w/r/t msdos mounting and raw device usage. Now, I'd like to create "real" filesystems on Zip drives, but I don't have a disktab entry for it. PS: It's slow as a dog, or so it seems to me, and, worse yet, it seems to make my system really sluggish. Has anybody spent time tuning it? I'm on a 486Dx4-100 with a fast parallel port, so I'd expect my system to pretty much be able to keep up if the Zip drive can. PPS: I'm unclear on the distinction between /dev/rsd0 and /dev/rsd0c (or /dev/rfd0 vs. /dev/rfd0c for that matter). I use the former as a rule but much of the doc favors the latter. Can anybody clue me in? PPPS: Anybody noticed stray irq 7's with the zip driver? I keep getting console messages about this from the kernel. PPPPS: For any of these, if you point me to TFM, I'll be happy to RTFM. Thanks. -- Brian T. Schellenberger, the Man from Babble-On.
