driver is to provide access to the Adaptec AIC-7110 SCSI controller built
in the Iomega ZIP drive. But it should also work with the Iomega Jaz Traveller
parallel to SCSI interface.
+.Pp
+The driver has been extended to the ZIP+ drive which is based on the
+Iomega Matchmaker Parallel to SCSI interface.
+.Sh USAGE
+The driver should let you use a printer connected to the drive while
+transfering data.
+.Pp
+DOS and FreeBSD filesystems are supported. When mounting a DOS filesystem or
+formating a FreeBSD filesystem, check the slice of the disk with the
+.Xr fdisk 8
+utility.
+.Pp
+In order to unixify a ZIP disk, put the following in /etc/disktab:
+
+zip|zip 100:\\
+ :ty=removable:se#512:nc#96:nt#64:ns#32:\\
+ :pa#196608:oa#0:ba#4096:fa#512:\\
+ :pb#196608:ob#0:bb#4096:fb#512:\\
+ :pc#196608:oc#0:bc#4096:fc#512:
+
+and use
+.Xr disklabel 8 .
+.Pp
+If you have trouble with your driver, your parallel chipset may not run
+properly at the detected mode (NIBBLE, PS2 or EPP). Tune the
+.Xr ppc 4
+bootflags to force other modes.

+.Sh BUGS
+During boot, the driver firstly try to detect a classic ZIP, then a ZIP+.
+The ZIP+ detection is intrusive and may send errorneous charaters to your
+printer if the drive is not connected to your parallel port.
