I've both personally and in reports seen Zip and CDROM drives running happily side-by-side. It would be fair to say that this highlights defects in our current ATAPI support. > I cannot get either ATAPI device to work as a slave to an IDE drive. Again, I can do both here, on a considerable range of systems, with all of the IDE and ATAPI devices available to me. If you are looking for a kludge solution, you might want to try putting the Zip on another IDE channel, off a Soundblaster card or a (relatively) cheap PCI IDE adapter. Sorry we can't offer you more meaningful assistance. 8( -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
