After long months of trying to get my Zip drive working in all flavors of linux I discovered that you have to have your BIOS set the parport to EPP ONLY on booting, no ECP, no EPP+ECP or anything else. The other thing that I found that makes using Zip drives under Linux easy is a program called LOMEGA. You get a GUI similar to Iomega's Iomegaware. It allows you to lock and unlock disks and supports compressed file backups. I got mine at SourceForge -- John Batt, OSL [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ# 103056686 Windows 9X: A 32 bit extension and a graphical shell for a 16 bit patch to an 8 bit operating system originally coded for a 4 bit microprocessor, written by a 2 bit company, that can't stand 1 bit of competition! -- Unknown.
