Parallel port Zip drive
I hope this hasn't already been pounded to death, checked the archives with no results. I just upgraded to 4.0 and everything works fine so far except the zip drive.

It turned out there may be a bug in my bios that required me to change from EPP mode to standard bi-directional. Walter noted that EPP mode worked OK for him under 3.4, but did not under -current. Oddly enough, EPP mode worked fine under win95, so there doesn't seem to be some innate incompatiblity between my laptop and Zip drives in EPP mode. Is this worth looking into? -- -= jm =- --- The opinions expressed in this message are the opinions of the mail program only, and not of the writer, his employer, or freebsd-uk.eu.org Let me try to add a little info to that. When I installed my zip on 3.4-STABLE, it worked right off the bat so I didn't pay any attention as to what dmesg said about the drive or the parallel port. I wish I had so I could provide the information for completeness. Initially under 4.0-CURRENT, my port came up NIBBLE and the drive as EPP 1.9. ON Fritz Heinrichmeyer's (Hope I got that right) advice, I changed the BIOS setting of my port to EPP 1.7, my only other choice.

Re: Feedback on 4.0-RC3 (mostly good! :)

What is your system config? Yes it is FAST! and I love itI see that the 64MB memory problem has been fix at the install level. 3.x only reads 64MB of RAM at the floppy install. 4.0 reads all of my 128MB. Cheers Shaun Odd, 3.x always read all of my 128MB. I didn't get any ata probe problems and didn't read the posts. I wonder about other nit-picky things, like why is sound.doc (to which I've seen numorous RTFM references) still written for configurations under FreeBSD 2.1 ? On Thu, 9 Mar 2000, John Reynolds wrote: OK, finally had a chance to frag the hard drive and install 4.0-RC3 from cdrom and see how it went. Here's my observations on the good: 1) On the same hardware as I tested 4.0-RC and 4.0-RC2 on, now I no longer get those "long ATA probes"! This is awesome! Whatever was done, is great, now the machine boots very speedily. 2) The "Standard Installation" is much better than "Novice". It was good to rename this. 3) I chose the "A" option for partition/label and good, reasonable defaults were given to me. 4) The "Standard Install" went flawlessly (despite my best attempts at pilot error :). Now observations on a few nit-picky things: 1) There is a typo (spelling error) in one of the dialogs I was presented. I was trying to force pilot error into the situation :) and got a dialog that contained the following line: "You can also chose "No" at the next prompt and go back into the installation menus to try and retry whichever operations failed." The word "chose" should be "choose." I'd supply a patch, but I only installed kernel source :( 2) Again, while trying to inject pilot error, I created a FreeBSD partition of only 10Mb and gave that as the only slice the Label editor could deal with. When I hit 'A' to have it auto-decide, it came back with a dialog box: "Unable to create root partition. Too big?" I assume by what I gave to it, that it means to say "dummy, you didn't give me a big enough slice with which to work, try again." If that is the case, perhaps a small re-write of the dialog message is in order to help explain what has gone on and a possible course of action to correct the problem--like "give me a larger slice to work with here". In all honesty, I *meant* to create a 10Gb partition and typed so fast that my brain didn't snap that "10M" != "10G" ... and thus I presented a wierd situation to the Label editor. The system is fast, GNOME+E. desktop is usable, kernel config went like a charm. Looks *real* good from where I'm sittin'. Good work to all!
