39*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino.Sh DESCRIPTION
40*86d7f5d3SJohn MarinoThe primary purpose of the
41*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino.Nm
42*86d7f5d3SJohn Marinodriver is to provide access to the Adaptec AIC-7110 SCSI controller built
43*86d7f5d3SJohn Marinoin the Iomega ZIP drive.
44*86d7f5d3SJohn MarinoBut it should also work with the Iomega Jaz Traveller
45*86d7f5d3SJohn Marinoparallel to SCSI interface.
46*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino.Pp
47*86d7f5d3SJohn MarinoThe driver has been extended to the ZIP+ drive which is based on the
48*86d7f5d3SJohn MarinoIomega Matchmaker Parallel to SCSI interface.
49*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino.Sh USAGE
50*86d7f5d3SJohn MarinoThe driver should let you use a printer connected to the drive while
51*86d7f5d3SJohn Marinotransferring data.

79*86d7f5d3SJohn MarinoIf you have trouble with your driver, your parallel chipset may not run

98*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino.Sh BUGS
99*86d7f5d3SJohn MarinoDuring boot, the driver first tries to detect a classic ZIP, then a ZIP+.
100*86d7f5d3SJohn MarinoThe ZIP+ detection is intrusive and may send erroneous characters to your
101*86d7f5d3SJohn Marinoprinter if the drive is not connected to your parallel port.
