AEB,
What is the geometry of the drive media?
There was a dirty table that listed drives like my 100ZIP that has screw
CHS.
32/64/96
There is a forced 64 head limit in ide-floppy.c
static void idefloppy_setup (ide_drive_t *drive, idefloppy_floppy_t *floppy)
/*
* We used to check revisions here. At this point however
* I'm giving up. Just assume they are all broken, its easier.
*
* The actual reason for the workarounds was likely
* a driver bug after all rather than a firmware bug,
* and the workaround below used to hide it. It should
* be fixed as of version 1.9, but to be on the safe side
* we'll leave the limitation below for the 2.2.x tree.
*/
You may need to add a lime like.........
if (strcmp(drive->id->model, "IOMEGA ZIP 100 ATAPI") == 0)
{
for (i = 0; i < 1 << PARTN_BITS; i++)
max_sectors[major][minor + i] = 64;
}
if (strcmp(drive->id->model, "IOMEGA ZIP 250 ATAPI") == 0)
{
for (i = 0; i < 1 << PARTN_BITS; i++)
max_sectors[major][minor + i] = 64; << here
}
Alan what is your spin?
