.
. Sorry to say, but this driver is a poor sucker in FreeBSD.  If it
. doesn't work for you, there are only two chances:
.
. get another host adapter, or
. take over maintenance of the aic driver. :)
.
. Very obviously, i would find it cool if you decide for #2, but i'm
. afraid you're going for #1 (or a non-FreeBSD solution at all).
.
. -.- 
. cheers, J"org



that's kinda bad news since the zip drive uses this adapter driver 
and it's looking like the cheapest backup solution on earth
