After looking at a lot of different options, I've just about decided
to buy a ZIP drive as my primary backup system for FreeBSD. Some
people seem to be having problems, though, so I thought I'd ask:
Do (SCSI) ZIP drives work with FreeBSD 2.0R and/or 2.0.5R?
Any caveats?
I'm planning to get a Soundblaster card with SCSI interface to
run the thing (largely because of cost, partly for the bundled
sound card). Any known caveats? (I suppose I'll need to re-enable
bounce buffer support if I also upgrade my memory as I'm planning?)
