<question id="zip-support">
<para>Does &os; support &iomegazip; drives?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>&os; supports SCSI and ATAPI (IDE) &iomegazip; drives
out of the box. SCSI ZIP drives 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. It is not
clear which host adapters support booting from targets
other than 0 or 1, so you will have to consult your
adapter's documentation if you would like to use this
feature.</para>
<para>&os; also supports Parallel Port Zip Drives. Check
that your kernel contains the
<devicename>scbus0</devicename>,
<devicename>da0</devicename>,
<devicename>ppbus0</devicename>, and
<devicename>vp0</devicename> drivers (the
<filename>GENERIC</filename> kernel contains everything
except <devicename>vp0</devicename>). With all these
drivers present, the Parallel Port drive should be available
as <devicename>/dev/da0s4</devicename>. Disks can be
mounted using <command>mount /dev/da0s4 /mnt</command> OR
(for DOS disks) <command>mount -t msdosfs /dev/da0s4 /mnt</command>
as appropriate.</para>

<para>Does &os; support &jaz;, EZ and other removable

<answer>
<para>They work. Most of these are SCSI devices, so they
look like SCSI disks to &os;. The IDE EZ looks like an IDE
drive.</para>
<para>Make sure that any external units are powered on when
booting the system.</para>
