I am running a 100mb parallel zip drive perfectly sell. The sound I can't help you with because I have never got into that but if you would let me know what kind of zip drive you have I might be able to help. Are you using zip disks that are formatted for msdos or windows? If you and you have your zip drive hooked up to parallel port 1 you probably want to mount /dev/da0s4. If you try mounting the wrong partition on your zip disk it will not work. Darren Wiebe dkwiebe@hagnehomes.com Joann Hoblitz wrote: > > I am about to give up on my zip drive and ever getting sound.
