I have Mandrake 7.2 installed as a primary operating system on one of my pc's -- and I have an Iomega USB ZIP 100 drive. For one brief moment when I first installed 7.2 the drive worked but not since. Mount tells me that : /mnt/zip on /mnt/zip type supermoutn (rw, fs=vfat, /dev=/dev/zip) When I look in the device file I see ZIP --> sda4 When I attempt to access the drive (e.g., cd /mnt/zip or cd /dev/zip) I get either: bash: cd: /mnt/zip: Input/output error or: bash: cd: /dve/zip: Not a directory or /mnt/zip is not a block device. Iomega has drivers which are supposed to work with Mandrake 8.0 (which I don't have the bandwidth to download here in the boonies), and I have seen a USB zip work on Red Hat (bite my tongue!!) so I know it CAN be done. Any help or suggestions would be more than appreciated as I need the zip drive to transfer files from my Windows PC (the old slow one) to this new Linux only pc.
