I am scanning here and there; here is what I found in /proc : [root@rubedo root]# cat /proc/ide/ide1/hdc/media floppy [root@rubedo root]# cat /proc/ide/ide1/hdc/model IOMEGA ZIP 100 ATAPI [root@rubedo root]# cat /proc/ide/ide1/hdc/settings name value min max mode ---- ----- --- --- ---- current_speed 0 0 69 rw ide_scsi 0 0 1 rw init_speed 0 0 69 rw io_32bit 0 0 3 rw keepsettings 0 0 1 rw nice1 0 0 1 rw number 2 0 3 rw pio_mode write-only 0 255 w slow 0 0 1 rw unmaskirq 0 0 1 rw using_dma 0 0 1 rw
