Greetings All,

The FAQ only mentioned that -Current supported ZIP drives "cleanly".

Does FreeBSD allow using ZIP drives that already contain data written
in FAT format?

I am interested in knowing if I can mount a ZIP disk using something
like:

	mount -t msdos /dev/sd3a /mnt

I currently have 2.1 Release and an Iomega ZIP Drive (SCSI).

Thanks for any info.

Kolin
