In the last episode (Feb 06), Joseph Lewis said: > Hello! > > I have been having problems with the Iomega Zip Drive. It appears as /dev/ad2, not /dev/afd0. Now, BIOS detects the device, and I suppose that's why I get a "removable hard disk" instead of the ide floppy I am supposed to get. A different drive returned /dev/afd0, and the revision numbers on the devices are different: > > /dev/ad2 is revision B.27 > /dev/afd0 is revision 25D Some Zips are ATA and some are ATAPI. ATA zips have a solid eject button and a separate access light. ATAPI zips have a clear eject button that doubles as the access light. The unit coming up as /dev/ad2 is an ATA zip (looks like a removable hard drive to the OS), and /dev/afd0 is an ATAPI zip (looks like a floppy drive to the OS). Apart from the different device name, what problems are you having? -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
