Heh, well, this is ALMOST true :)
Try this:
Type: lsmod <return>
Look for ide-floppy.o
If that doesn't exist, insmod ide-floppy
Then that'll make your Zip drive /dev/hdx4
where x is the letter of your zip drive (hda being primary master, hdb
secondary master, hdc primary slave, and hdd secondary slave).
Now you can either mount /dev/hdx4 /mnt/disk
you can access it with mtools: mdir b:
or you can set it to automount...
edit /etc/fstab
copy the /dev/fd0 line and replace
/dev/fd0 with /dev/hdx4
and change /mnt/floppy with wherever you want to mount it (Ex. /mnt/disk).
Good luck!

Subject: [newbie] Installing Zip drive on Mandrake 6
Any instructions I read about getting my IDE ATAPI Zip drive up and running,
keep referring to a /usr/src/linux directory from within which I'm supposed
to
make some module change to the kernel.
Problem is that there is no such directory.
Any suggestions much appreciated.
Michael Coady.
