The SCSI zip IS supported via the standard scsi drivers…

AFAIK: USB version is not supported at all.

I will assume you are talking about the parallel port verson.

A parallel port version is not supported by QSSL but is is available

For the record, the EIDE version is also supported.

It will show up under /dev as /dev/hd? and it will look like a hard drive.
I.E. it will have partitions.
A mount -p /dev/hd? will mount all of the available partitions, after that,
treat it like a hard drive.

It (EIDE zip) shows as /dev/fd0 on my systems, because it is flagged as a removable device

You are correct. Sorry, my oops.

But it does behave as a hard disk.

Hi

http://qdn.qnx.com/support/bok/solution.qnx?9551 gives some more info.

Thanks for all responses, I have mounted IDE Zip drive successfully.

It is secondary master (secondary slave is CD ROM).
Fsys.eide recognize it as /dev/fd0
direct mounting /dev/fd0 to QNX filesystem does not operate
but Fatfsys e=/dev/fd0 shows it as /dos/e and /dos/e operates well.
