I get two scsi devices recognized at boot. And while my PleXWriter is scd0, it appears that scd1 isn't connecting to the Zip250 using mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd1 /zip or mount -t vfat /dev/scd1 /zip (because the iomega zip disk is vfat.)
I'm talking off the top of my head, because I haven't got any scsi-emulated devices to look at right now. Are these scsi-emulated devices named/numbered like IDE and real scsi devices? If so, scd1 would be partition 1 on device scd, not a separate device, right? With IDE, devices are hda, hdb, hdc, hdd With real SCSI, they're sda, sdb, sdc, sdd, etc. I just sold my external scsi ZIP drive, but the fstab entry, which is all that remains in memory of it, reads: /dev/sda4 /zip auto noauto,user 0 0 It was the only device on the SCSI bus, hence 'sda'. For some strange reason, the preformatted media comes with a single large partition, but defined in the fourth position in the partition table, hence 'sda4'. What is the equivalent naming/numbering scheme for the scsi-over-whatever emulated devices? -- Rick Green "I have the heart of a little child, and the brain of a genius. ... and I keep them in a jar under my bed"
