Got it...without an excessive amount of wizardry ;) The only screwy part was the hardware, as I'd never worked with this gadget before. Once I figured out that I had to first:
Start up the device, before system power up, using the startup cartridge that comes with the SparQ drive, all went well. The steps were: modprobe paride modprobe epat modprobe pd By having a terminal open running $tail -f /var/log/messages I could see pd establishing the drive as /dev/pda1. I simply then inserted the source cartridge into the drive mount -t msdos /dev/pda1 /mnt/sparq. copied the files I wanted did a umount had a beer :) After that, nothing unique. The kernel source documentation was my answer, at /usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-2.4.18/paride.txt, on my machine. Like I say, the linux part was easy (of course) the hardware part was tedious.
