This comes standard in the 3.2 Generic Kernel. (I earlier versions too...) I removed the '#' sign from the front of vpo0 to get the drive to work... # Parallel port device ppc0 at isa? port? flags 0x40 net irq 7 controller ppbus0 device lpt0 at ppbus? device plip0 at ppbus? device ppi0 at ppbus? controller vpo0 at ppbus? Funny thing.. I have not used my zip drive in a long time. I used to use /dev/da0s4. In fact, thats is what is in my /etc/fstab. Hrmmm.. The drive now works using da0s1.. mark@slugo:/dos:>mount -t msdos /dev/da0s1 /dos/zip During bootup I get this... ppc0 at 0x378 irq 7 flags 0x40 on isa ppc0: SMC-like chipset (ECP/EPP/PS2/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode ppc0: FIFO with 16/16/16 bytes threshold lpt0: <generic printer> on ppbus 0 lpt0: Interrupt-driven port ppi0: <generic parallel i/o> on ppbus 0 vpo0: <Iomega VPI0 Parallel to SCSI interface> on ppbus 0 vpo0: EPP 1.9 mode plip0: <PLIP network interface> on ppbus 0 [...snip...] da0 at vpo0 bus 0 target 6 lun 0 da0: <IOMEGA ZIP 100 J.03> Removable Direct Access SCSI-2 device da0: Attempt to query device size failed: NOT READY, Medium not present robert t tan wrote: > > Hi, > > How do you connect a parralel zip drive to a FreeBSD 3.1 box.
