I take the occasion to thank everyone replied to me and to ensure them (I'm surethey will sleep better tonight) that my zip now works without problems on /dev/hdb4... I'm happy, it is happy, you should be happy, it seems an english classwork but indeed everyone is happy, and that's right.

I found out about it and its advantages at linuxgazette, may 1988 issue, in the "2-cents" area. This worked flawlessly for me though it did mean a kernel recompile. chris On 20-Mar-99 Juergen Braukmann wrote:

Hi, does anyone knows how to get a IOMega ZIP 100 ATAPI (internal IDE) to work? At boot time it's correctly recognized at HDB, but when I try to access to /dev/hdb or /dev/hdb0 it fails... Thanks Mano :)

I had some trouble with mine also. Have you tried /dev/hdb2 to /dev/hdb4? I read, that in some cases itŽs always the 4th partition. mine shows and works as /dev/hdd.

My major trouble was the undocumented jumper that put it in atapi mode from whatever mode. Since you see hdb on bootup, I recon itŽs not that jumper, cause I didnŽt see anything.
