My zip drive has _always_ worked fine, once I got the cabling and
terminiation issues cleaned up.  It is a messy device to connect to a
SCSI bus IMHO.

I can mount, tar, dd -- you name it -- to/from the zip drive with no
problems, other than a warning about using false geometry.

It would appear that it already does.  Do you specify irq ? in the
config file?  I think that is all that is needed.

        if (ia->ia_irq != IRQUNK) {
                if (ia->ia_irq != sc->sc_irq) {
                        printf("%s: irq mismatch; kernel configured %d
!= board 
configured %d\n",
                            sc->sc_dev.dv_xname, ia->ia_irq,
sc->sc_irq);
                        return 0;
                }
        } else
                ia->ia_irq = sc->sc_irq;
