Seeing as my thread has peetered out, I was wondering if anybody had any ideas of where else I might ask the question. I have searched on Google and Northernlight, and none of the information retrieved there has gone beyond the good suggestions offered here.
For those new to this thread, my question concerns an internal IDE/ATAPI ZIP drive. I can mount/read/write/umount the drive, but I cannot eject it: either by the hardware eject button on the drive, or by software tools such as eject or jazip. All kernel configurations suggested thus far (such as SCSI emulation or IDE Floppy support) have not produced an eject. In other words, the kernel is configured so that the device works correctly in all respects, EXCEPT for an eject (by hardware or software). Eric Miller suggested looking for a tool that would send the right ioctl to the kernel. That might be a useful avenue of inquiry, but first I need one of you kind folks to explain to me what that means. ;-) He mentioned in that vein tools such as jazip, which fails. One peculiar thing about all this is that, again, a HARDWARE eject command (pressing the button) won't work. Why would that be? Thank you for your help, Dan -- ---------------------- Dan Griswold [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------
