FYI, I am a new Mandrake user and when I installed Mandrake 7.0
Complete late last night, it failed to install my SCSI Zip drive.
There was a choice explicitly for it during the graphical install, but
it failed. I then thought that I just need to install my SCSI card
(for which there was an entry that matched the listing I got from
Windows Control Panel System Properties), but that also failed using
the graphical install, but it did at least offer to let me try sending
parameters into the command, but since I was clueless about what
parameters I needed to send, that didn't help. My Zip problem may be
entirely different than your Zip problem, but thought I would mention
it.
If anyone knows how to get a SCSI (ISA card) Zip to install, I would
like to know how!
Thanks,
Mike
