1. Parallel Port Zip Drives and Kernel 2.2.0
2. Use of the Iomega Parallel Port zip drives crashed constantly whenever reading files from the zip disk. If the errors continue, the zip drive is no longer detected, and a reboot will be necessary to use it again. Errors are similiar to: SCSI disk error : host 0 channel 0 id 6 lun 0 return code = 27010000 scsidisk I/O error: dev 08:04, sector 21604
This error does not seem to affect writing to the zip disk, and is not related to bad sectors. This error was first noticed with 2.2.0pre9, and was blamed on not compiling CONFIG_SCSI_IZIP_EPP16 and CONFIG_SCSI_IZIP_SLOW_CTR into the kernel. With 2.2.0, these were compiled in statically, and still no change.
3. Parallel port, zip drive
4. Linux version 2.2.0 (root@shiva) (gcc version 2.7.2.2) #3 Wed Jan 27 00:29:25 GMT 1999
5. No Oops Information
6. This can be triggered, easily, by copying any file of large size(approximately 5-10 megs, if not large).

Other information: I have also heard of other reports of this happening, and one other user who, after upgrading from 2.0.36, is unable to use his printer.
