Subject:   Zip drive on Promise ATA/66
Message-ID:  <002f01c1d8aa$dc4a95c0$af101b3f@net>

Hello FreeBSD users,

My computer has a VIA 82C686 chipset and to get around the timing problem
with my Iomega zip drive I installed a Promise ATA/66 card.
Connected as master on this card, the zip drive is functioning well under MS
Windows and Linux. I'm able to read and write files and to create an ext2
file system.

With FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE and 4.5-STABLE though, I'm still challenged. When I
use sysinstall to create a filesystem on the zip it creates a afd0s1e slice,
but when I try to mount disks with FAT or UFS file system I get the
following message:

- Mar 31 05:12:58  /kernel: afd0: READ_BIG command timeout - resetting
- Mar 31 05:12:58  /kernel: ata3: resetting devices .. ata3-master: timeout
waiting for command=ef s=11 e=04
- Mar 31 05:12:58  /kernel: done

I tried to mount /dev/afd0s4 as type msdos and both /dev/afd0s1e and
/dev/afd0e as type ffs.

Here is some more output, what am I doing wrong?
