[Solved] Iomega ZIP 100 IDE
Igor:
Hi Pete,
I don't see this as a problem. I have installed /REMOVABLES:2 - this is 2 disks. Another one is either a USB CDrom or a blank for ZIP 100. But the trouble is that when the floppy disk is inserted, this blank is not filled with real media data.
Neil Waldhauer:
You can see my system, with OS/2 convenience pack german, eCS and ArcaOS. This dump is taken from ArcaOS 5.0.7.
The zip disk is clearly this one.

Nothing is inserted in the drive at this point. If I insert a disk, and refresh removable media, nothing changes. The LVM /query is identical.

A floppy disk will never show up under LVM. And LVM will only show dummy units for whatever is specified via the /REMOVABLES switch.

Will this be the case even if the ZIP drive is connected to the IDE bus?
I see in my message similar to the truth figures (96) regarding the capacity of the disk...
Lars:
If it is connected to IDE, it is served by DANIS506.ADD and it should show under LVM. But the 96 MB entries are typically dummy entries, stemming from USBMSD.ADD.
If a ZIP disk is inserted already on boot, it should even be locked in the drive. I forgot what to expect if it is inserted after boot.
