Whenever I try to start my paralell ZIP drive (with "modprobe ppa" as
root), I get the following message:

/lib/modules/2.2.13-7mdk/scsi/ppa.o: init_module: Das Gerät oder die
Ressource ist belegt
parport: Das Gerät oder die Ressource ist belegt

(which means "occupied" or "busy")

lsmod shows:

which is necessary, as I also want to use the printer (not at the same
time of course!) and it worked in SUSE 5.3 some time ago, now I am
running Mandrake 6.1 (great stuff BTW!).

Any tips how to get it working??

Thanks, Willy
