Are you running Linux 2.0.x or Linux 2.1.x beta? In 2.1 there are facilities to share the parallel port between a printer, zip drive etc at the same time, without removing and inserting the modules etc. However in my case I just want to use the zip drive, I have no printer on the port. It's different for 2.0 vs 2.1 though. thanks, Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Debian packages at ftp://ftp.rising.com.au/pub/hamish.
