<p>ATAPI (IDE) Zip drives are supported in FreeBSD 2.2.6 and
later releases.
<p>FreeBSD 3.0-STABLE contains support for the parallel Zip
However, you will need to build a new kernel with
support for ppbus (Parallel Port Bus) in order to use the Zip. See
the LINT configuration file for examples.
<p>FreeBSD has contained support for Parallel Port Zip Drives since
version 3.0. If you are using a sufficently up to date version, then
you should check that your kernel contains the <tt>scbus0</tt>, <tt>da0
</tt>, <tt>ppbus0</tt>, and <tt>vp0</tt> drivers (The GENERIC kernel
contains everything except vp0). With all these drivers present, the
Parallel Port drive should be available as /dev/da0s4. Hence, disks can
be mounted using <tt>mount /dev/da0s4 /mnt </tt>OR (for dos disks) <tt>
mount_msdos /dev/da0s4 /mnt</tt>
