ide zip 100 won't mount

[Joseph Cheek]

i've tried 2.4.7-ac10 and 2.4.9-ac10.  same results.  at boot i get:

Sep 17 11:02:48 seattle kernel: ide-floppy driver 0.97.sv
Sep 17 11:02:48 seattle kernel: hdd: No disk in drive
Sep 17 11:02:48 seattle kernel: hdd: 98304kB, 96/64/32 CHS, 4096 kBps, 512
sector size, 2941 rpm

looks good, right?  but i put a disk in and i get:

Sep 17 14:36:23 seattle kernel: ide-floppy: hdd: I/O error, pc =  0, key =
2, asc = 30, ascq =  0
Sep 17 14:36:23 seattle kernel: ide-floppy: hdd: I/O error, pc = 1b, key =
2, asc = 30, ascq =  0
Sep 17 14:36:23 seattle kernel: hdd: No disk in drive

not hardware, as it works in windows on the same machine.

any ideas?

thanks!

The first packet is TEST_UNIT_READY, the second packet is START_STOP_UNIT. 
asc 30/asq 0 decodes to "Incompatible medium installed".  Doesn't sound too 
promising... 

Looking through the driver, it will not fail to open if either of these 
packets fail.  The driver open will fail if it can't decode the subsequent 
READ_FORMAT_CAPACITIES packet.  Try to enabling debugging by initializing 
the IDEFLOPPY_DEBUG macro.  Also, the output of hdparm -i would be useful.

hmm, i went into windows *one more time* just to make sure it was still 
working, and not a hardware problem.  well... looks like it doesn't work 
in windows either.  must be hardware.

funny thing it shows up in dmesg and in "My Computer", just can't read 
from it.
