I also noticed that the ZIP probes as an ATAPI device. Does FreeBSD > support ATAPI ZIP drives? No. The older Zip drives supported an IDE mode, which is supported (to a degree), however Iomega have dropped this in more recent models. There is considerable interest in pursuing ATAPI disk support, however the "right" way is quite a lot of work, and volunteers are being solicited to participate in this. mike
