Hi,

I just want to report how my ZIP floppy (100 Kbytes)
is detected with Linux 2.0.33 :

Linux SuSE 2.0.33:
ide: i82371 PIIX (Triton) on PCI bus 0 function 57
ide0: BM-DMA at 0xfcb0-0xfcb7
hda: IOMEGA ZIP 100 ATAPI, ATAPI FLOPPY drive
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M
FDC 0 is a National Semiconductor PC87306
ide: i82371 PIIX (Triton) on PCI bus 0 function 57
ide0: BM-DMA at 0xfcb0-0xfcb7
hda: IOMEGA ZIP 100 ATAPI, ATAPI FLOPPY drive
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M
FDC 0 is a National Semiconductor PC87306
.........
Partition check:
sda: sda1 sda2 < sda5 sda6 sda7 sda8 > sda3 sda4
ide-floppy: hda: I/O error, pc = 5a, key = 5, asc = 24, ascq = 0
ide-floppy: Can't get drive capabilities
hda: 98304kB, 196608 blocks, 512 sector size
hda: 98304kB, 32/64/96 CHS, 4096 kBps, 512 sector size, 2941 rpm
hda: hda4
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.

And with FreeBSD:

FreeBSD 2.6:
wdc0: unit 0 (atapi): <IOMEGA ZIP 100 ATAPI/23.D>, removable, intr, iordis
wfd0: medium type unknown (no disk)
wfd0: buggy Zip drive, 64-block transfer limit set

I do not know if it is still working in Linux,
I have never found a use for it !
I can do some experiment if needed.

Etienne.
