Hi Al,
I know you're the state's biggest FreeBSD fan, but if I were you,
I'd try booting from a good linux distro. You can boot an Ubuntu 12.04
CD, or there's always the good old Knoppix - they're still keeping
things up-to-date. I haven't tried anything with a zip drive variant
for several years, but I recall Linux support being pretty darn good at
the end.
Good luck,
-Jeff

Aloha,
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.
