I thought that was for the Parallel port version? I believe that the ATAPI/IDE version ios different. It is supported in pre-2.0.31 kernel, or in 2.0.30 using an ide-scsi patch. ------ Include IDE/ATAPI FLOPPY support (new) If you have an IDE floppy which uses the ATAPI protocol, say Y. ATAPI is a new protocol used by IDE cdrom/tape/floppy drives, similar to the SCSI protocol. IDE floppy drives include the LS-120 and the ATAPI ZIP. At boot time, the FLOPPY drive will be identified along with other IDE devices, as "hdb" or "hdc", or something similar. SCSI emulation support This will provide SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices, and will allow you to use a SCSI device driver instead of a native ATAPI driver. This is useful if you have an ATAPI device for which no native driver has been written; you can then use this emulation together with an appropriate SCSI device driver. If both this SCSI emulation and native ATAPI support are compiled into the kernel, the native support will be used. Normally, say N. ------ -- Peter Galbraith, research scientist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Maurice-Lamontagne Institute, Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada P.O.
