I can't imagine that working! :) The kernel still has to access the drives using IDE. The SCSI emulation is just a hack to make the devices look like SCSI to the user layer. Just start the system normally using the ide support, and make sure you can access your devices with IDE. (Using the ide-cd module. You ARE using modules for everything, right??? :) ) If that works, then unload ide-cd, and install ide-scsi and sr_mod (and whatver dependencies, etc...) You should now be able to access your cdrom drive with sr0, sr1 or whatever. I don't know how it will work for the Zip drive, but the idea should be the same. However, I don't know if you'll be able to support it using SCSI emu without building more kernel modules. I don't think there's any compelling reason to use SCSI emu on it anyway, since you can just use direct IDE ATAPI support for the Zip drive. (I did this many years ago with an ATAPI Zip drive and kernel 2.0 without a hitch.) -Chuck
