       <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>
