Hi, thanks for the help, when the system is booted up he drive appears as a normal hard drive: #dmesg ... wdc0: unit 1 (wd1): <IOMEGA ZIP 100> wd1: 96 MB (196608 sectors), 512 cyls, 12 heads, 32 S/T, 512 B/S ... I can mount it once fine, and unmount/mount the same disk as many times as I want. But if I try to mount a different disk I get the following message: /wd1s1 on /zip: /dev/wd1s1: Input/output error or if I try to mount it as a msdos disk: msdos: /dev/wd1s1: Input/output error I though I could umount/mount different disks before, but may be wrong. Is there anybody else who uses a IDE zip drive that could tell me how it works on their system? As I said before I behaves similarly in dos (can read one disk, but get error if I insert a different one), but works correctly in Win95.
