My external ZIP detects as "sd" just fine (sd2). I'm using an NCR controller. BTW - you must have SCSI support in the kernel or you wouldn't have detected the aha0 SCSI controller :-) Just make sure you have support for 'SCSI disks' ala "sd" in the kernel, and I suspect it will detect just fine. Once you get it detected as a 'sd', open http://vinyl.quickweb.com/mark/FreeBSD/ZIP-FAQ.html for info on how to use the thing under FreeBSD. Hint: reformatting the Zip disk with a FFS will increase your performance to about 850K/sec !! Good luck, -Mark
