I have been asigned the wonderful task of writing an Iomega Zip drive
device driver for Minix--nasty O.S. school projects...

Was wondering if anyone can give me any pointers on how on Earth to do
this (?).  Me and my team mates have literally ripped inside out the
Linux source code for the Zip driver, but have had no luck on making it
work on Minix.

And to even make things worse, our beloved friends at Iomega are not
willing to send us the codes needed (i.e., hex values, handshaking
protocols, etc.) to make the Zip drive work!

Needless to say, we are getting frustrated, angry and have nowhere else
to turn to for information.

I hope there is kind soul out there willing to help.

TIA.
