I will try the zip drive removal this weekend. If that is no good,
I am thinking it is somehow related that the zip and cdrw are on
different ide channels and the the scsi card isn't allowing secondary
channel to be seen for some reason. Perhaps a quirk in 8.0
Thanks,
Brian

We still have the strange access to hdb as if it were ide-scsi:
hdb:<3>ide-scsi: hdb: unsupported command in request queue (0)
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:40 (hdb), sector 0
unable to read partition table
If it is posible to physically remove the SCSI adaptor, try that.
Your SCSI emulation certainly is working and recognises 2 devices,
but only tells us about one of them. Try physically removing the
zip drive?
