[2.0.18,2.0.22] P166, 2940.
I got a floptical drive for a few days for testing. I used it with
an normal HD Diskette.
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 04 Lun: 00
Vendor: IOMEGA Model: Io20S *F Rev: 1.7
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Reading from this drive seems to work o.k. But writing to this devices
fails. In syslog the kernel reports
Oct 18 21:59:01 dragon kernel: SCSI disk error : host 0 channel 0 id 4 lun 0 return code = 28000002
Oct 18 21:59:01 dragon kernel: extra data not valid Current error sd08:10: sense key Not Ready
Oct 18 21:59:01 dragon kernel: Additional sense indicates Logical unit not ready, initializing command required
Oct 18 21:59:01 dragon kernel: scsidisk I/O error: dev 08:10, sector 1
Oct 18 21:59:01 dragon kernel: SCSI disk error : host 0 channel 0 id 4 lun 0 return code = 28000002

Oct 18 21:59:01 dragon kernel: scsidisk I/O error: dev 08:10, sector 3
etc....
I scanned the Howto documents but found no hint what to do. Do one
have to do some magic with magneto-optic devices?
BTW: This drive works in the same computiner with Win95.
