Any reason for that?
Hmm, well in the atapi-fd driver in the new ata/atapi system I only check for !strncmp(atp->atapi_parm->model, "IOMEGA ZIP", 11) which is even more pessimistic. However the overhead added here is small compared to the general speed of the ZIP drive, so its not a problem. -Søren To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
