Hi All,
Last week the harddisk in my old Compaq Contura won't boot win95
anylonger,
which may be good also that I totally turn to FreeBSD since the HD still
works fine for FreeBSD. What I missed from win95 is I can't browse my
files using paralel ZIP Drive under FreeBSD. The paralel port is
recognized as ECP in win95 and it seems that the vpo driver in FreeBSD
only works in EPP mode. The related part of dmesg.boot as as followed:

I have searched the internet and found some others facing the same problem
but with no answer. I wondered whether there is somebody in this list able
to overcome the problem.
