<heading>How about ZIP drives?</heading>
|

<p>
|
||||||
|
FreeBSD supports the SCSI ZIP drive out of the box, of course. The
|
||||||
|
ZIP drive can only be set to run at SCSI target IDs 5 or 6, but if
|
||||||
|
your SCSI host adapter's BIOS supports it you can even boot from
|
||||||
|
it. I don't know which host adapters let you boot from targets
|
||||||
|
other than 0 or 1... look at your docs (and let me know if it works
|
||||||
|
out for you).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There is no built in support for the parallel ZIP drive, and if you
|
||||||
|
haven't bought your ZIP drive already I recommend you get the SCSI
|
||||||
|
one... the price is the same, and the performance is much better,
|
||||||
|
and you're unlikely to ever be able to boot from the parallel port.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you already have a parallel ZIP, there is a port of the Linux
|
||||||
|
driver available at
