Hi Andre.

How about with media present? I get that message when trying to MOUNT a ZipDisk, in each case WITH media present...
> hdg: LS-120 VER5 00 UHD Floppy, ATAPI FLOPPY drive > hdg: 123264kB, 246528 blocks, 512 sector size, , DMA > hdg: 123264kB, 963/8/32 CHS, 533 kBps, 512 sector size, 720 rpm

Fairy Nuff. I'd expect that in that case anyway. What I don't understand is getting that "drive reports both" message when the media is actually present as well...
