Minor cleanup of ancient devices which it's very unlikely anyone cares
about (and if they do the Hardware Notes are the relevant place to look). - Remove section about Jaz and Zip drives. - Remove list of ancient CD-ROM drives.

<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>
