OK, upon a second reboot (for something unrelated), the device is detected (but I think only because I had the disk in the drive at the time). Now I'm having mount issues. First, it's entry in dmesg: afd0: 95MB <IOMEGA ZIP 100 ATAPI 13.A> at ata0-slave PIO0 I'm issuing the following command with the following results: mount_msdosfs /dev/afd0 /mnt/zip mount_msdosfs: /dev/afd0: Invalid argument The man page for mount and mount_msdosfs gives no clue on why that's an invalid argument. When executed, the drive is accessed, then a moment later it errors out as above. I've tried afd1 through afd4, I just get no such file or directory errors. I'd like to use the zip drive to back up my private keys from GnuPG and other important data. -- Yours In Christ, PIT Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.
