Hello there.

Can someone please tell me how to get an IOMEGA ZIP 100
drive to work on my Sparc running NetBSD 1.2??

I had it working under Solaris (though it could not read
MSDOS stuff). 

I believe it's just a matter of setting the proper 
geometry in disktab, but for the life of me I cannot
find that geometry posted anywhere on the net.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Robert Smith


PS/ the hardware is probed at boot time, and I get a 
message about unknown something or rather... using
default geometry (which of course doesn't work....)
