I'm 'consulting' on a machine that has an ATAPI Zip drive that I can't
manage to get to work. It works under W98. I'd like to use jazip, so
the SCSI emulation would be preferred, but even being able to mount
it as an IDE drive would be an accomplishment. Right now, the kernel
I'm using has the following (I don't use modules):
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD is not set
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDETAPE is not set
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEFLOPPY is not set
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI=y
CONFIG_SCSI=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=y
CONFIG_SCSI=y
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD is not set
# CONFIG_CHR_DEV_ST is not set
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR=y
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR_VENDOR is not set
CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SG=y
(no SCSI low-level drivers)
'dmesg' shows the following:
scsi0 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices
scsi : 1 host.
Vendor: IOMEGA Model: ZIP 100 Rev: 14.A

Partition check:

I've tried the following (with a disk in):
# mount -t vfat /dev/sda4 /zip
mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/sda4 as a block device
(maybe `insmod driver'?)
likewise for /dev/sda, /dev/sdb. I had a similar lack of success when
I left ATAPI floppy support compiled in and tried to mount /dev/hdd{,4},
except it insisted:
# mount -tvfat /dev/hdd /zip
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdd,
or too many mounted file systems
Thanks,
