Hello everyone:
  I have some bad luck with the 100MB Iomega zip drive under DU 4.0. Here
is what I did:
1) powered off machine (DEC 3000 400), attached the scsi zip drive to
external connection, set scsi id to 5, terminated the drive;
2) powered on machine, /dev/MAKEDEV rz13; add entry to /etc/disktab:

# iomega ZIP drive: 100 Mbyte.
#
zip|ZIP|iomega ZIP 100MB removable disk:\
        :ty=removable:dt=SCSI:ns#2048:nt#1:nc#96:\
        :oa#0:pa#196608:ba#8192:fa#1024:\
        :oc#0:pc#196608:bc#8192:fc#1024:

3) disklabel -rw rz13 zip
got this error message:
   zip: unknown disk type

  I am able to handel the drive with scu utility (eject, format, etc.)
 
  Any suggestions or successful story with zip drive and DU 4.0?

  Many thanks;

Wei
