[newbie] Zip Drive Woes >> cannot mount it...

[David Schur]

When i followed the how to ( use modprobe ppa , created /dev/zip and
/mnt/zip included it in fstab ( i followed the howto from mandrakeuser.org
) it still does not work
The error it states the kernel cannot recognize the device as a block
object.
I have my computer contected to my zip drive ( parallel ) to my scanner, to
my rio mp3 port to my printer, is it possible the daisy chain is screwing
this up?
