folks,

the following is lsusb -v for my 250gb usb hard drive.

I note the Protocol line mentions zip:
ie
      bInterfaceProtocol     80 Bulk (Zip)

does that mean its one of those USB-ZIP devices ?
If so, to the parameters below say anything about the CHS settings needed ?

tia,


PS - HPA, you were correct wrt what I missed :-}
