My ZIP drive gives me the following on boot up (ver 2.1.5) (ahc0:5:0):"IOMEGA ZIP 100 D.09" type 0 removable SCSI 2 sd1(ahc0:5:0):Direct access sd1(ahc0:5:0):UNIT ATTENTION asc:28,0 sd1(ahc0:5:0):Not ready to ready transition, medium may have changed 96MB (196608 512 byte sectors) I.e. it sorta works in that it gets the right medium size but it doesn't work in that it also "falls over" on the initial access. I cannot mount the drive at any later stage either. Is there some known problem with the IOMEGA SCSI interface or some other cause..... Note system consists of:- ADAPTEC AHA 2842A VL-bus adapter ---- address 7 Hitachi 1 GB hdd -----------------------------------------address 0 Pioneer DRM-624X CD Rom jukebox ----- address 3 luns 0-5 ZIP Drive ------------------------------------------------- address 5 any help appreciated mjt
