This is all for scsi drives. I may not know everything, but I know most
floppies aren't scsi! But, I am sure the problem exists for both. I know
from experience that is exists or did exist for ata drives. I think he
would be more likely to find the code for his problem in the 'ad' driver
files. I could be wrong about this... but I know I had this happen to me
on a computer without scsi equipment before. Of course, if he has a scsi
zip drive as well, then both need to get fixed. ;-)
