yesterday I bought a new Iomega Zip Drive. It runs as master
/dev/hdc together with a slave CD-ROM drive. My mainboard is
a Gigabyte GA586TX.
I've enabled the ATAPI Floppy option and made a new kernel.
The computer is dual boot Win95/Linux. In Win95, the Zip drive
runs fine as drive D:, but in Linux there are the following boot
messages:

Is there a patch available to keep the ATAPI floppy driver up
to date?
