I need to get an old parallel Omega Zip drive to work on a freeBSD
8.* to transfer some archives to new media.
I have a problem with getting the OS to read the Omega Zip drive so
it can be seen in dmesg to manually set the id correctly in
/etc/fstab Flash drives and floppies show up but not Parallel
Omegas. My wifes MS machine has no parallel input and my several
FreeBSD boxes do but wont find the hardware. I used to use Omega Zip
under FreeBSD 4.11. Thought these had been transferred years ago but
they were only found recently.
Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks Adam,
I read the article and made a clean physical install and I now see the
vpo driver and the Omega Zip device in the dmesg as da0. I have it in
the /etc/fstab file as da0s4 (which should work) I still can't access
the drive or the contents but at least it shows up now. Something to
work with.
