As to the infamous "Click o'death", that wouldn't cause the drive to not show up, it would simply render the media nearly useless and subject the user of the machine to the wonderful tones supplied by our friends at Iomega. --- Andy > On Fri, 28 Sep 2001, David Friedman wrote: > > > Hello, I was using my brand new ZIP100 when it magically > stopped working. > > Upon rebooting, /dev/afd0 vanished, so I ran MAKEDEV and rebooted again. > > The ZIP drive is still not showing up in a dmesg, and it says > that /dev/afd0 > > is not configured. > > > > My guess is that the drive is toast.

Make sure it shows up during the machine's POST/Boot sequence. Also, check to make sure that the dmesg entry for the controller it's attached to is showing up. --- Andy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
