given that it's possible to ditch SCSI emulation for IDE CD-RWs and use the IDE device directly, is there something analogous for USB zip drives? (and possible other SCSI lookalike devices?) currently, of course, a USB zip drive is typically available through /dev/sda4, so one still needs SCSI disk emulation to access one. is there an alternative that does not require SCSI support? or is one still stuck with that for the time being? rday p.s. i'm trying to remember if accessing a CF memory card thru a PCMCIA CF adapter also required a SCSI device access, but my memory is failing me at the moment. -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
