First question - what kind of Zip drive? There's about a billion versions of them out there. IDE? USB? SCSI? And what capacity? I have both the IDE and SCSI 100MB versions - the SCSI one shows up as a plain-jane SCSI device upon bootup. (The IDE one does as well under Linux, but I haven't tried it under FreeBSD.) Basically, you treat them as standard hard drives, assuming that you use caution when it comes to the "removable" aspect of things... As far as the USB versions, I'd guess that they're probably supported by the umass driver, but that's just a guess... Sending your "dmesg" output would probably be helpful... mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
