I have a IOMEGA ZIP ide drive that I used to be able to access via mtools
or mount_msdos just fine.  Now, I can't.

I have a fairly recently built kernel:

FreeBSD 4.4-RC #0: Wed Feb  6 10:49:07 PST 2002

which detects the drive:

afd0: 96MB <IOMEGA ZIP 250 ATAPI> [96/64/32] at ata1-slave using PIO3

This is different from awhile ago:

afd0: 0MB <IOMEGA ZIP 250 ATAPI> [0/64/32] at ata1-slave using PIO3

I don't use the drive very often, so I don't know if the change resulted
in not being able to access the drive.

The error occurs on open.  If I do open("/dev/afd0a", O_RDONLY), I get
errno of 22 (EINVAL).  The 'open' man page says this only results from
an illegal combination flags -- not the case here.  No message gets
output to the console so I don't think the hardware is bad.  The drive
spins when I do the open call and windows can see it okay.

I checked the web site for bug reports and did not find anything.

Does anyone know what is going on?

Thanks,
Tom Proett
