I agree with Matt_H that the ZiP drive can't want to use
trackdisk.device and what Elbox meant was that trackdisk.device is the
only method inbuilt into ROM of hotswapping. Floppies on Amiga do
10K/s whereas a ZiP would do 100K/s at least!
I use the Blizzard SCSI-IV interface and when you attach a new device
to that you have to select `Rescan' from the UnitControl tool. This
forces the SCSI bus to look again at what it's talking to, be it
scanners or a CD-ROM drive.
Doesn't BlizKick support hot swapping of ZiP disks? I've never used it
so can't say if it'd work on a PowerFlyer machine. Doubt it though.
Just out of curiosity, do you have your ZiP drive mounted in place of
the floppy drive? I've always wondered if that could be done (in a
desktop case that is).
As for LS120, now that would be problematic as it must use the floppy
header and not the IDE header as it has to be able to read standard
floppies as well as 120Mb super-floppies. Must be hideously slow but I
do remember Eyetech selling them once so they must be compatible with
Amigas (in which case they'd have to use trackdisk.device wouldn't
they?)
I'm mystified why you went for the Power Flyer over the Surf
SQUIRREL though... ;-) ;-) ;-)
