Parallel port Iomega ZIP-drive, no imm or ppa module in Debian Jessie?

2014-04-20 Thread Adrian Christiansen
Hi guys!,

I've found a printer port Iomega ZIP-drive a while ago and want to
test if it's working. From want I've found out there's two modules
required for the SCSI over Printer Port interface that Iomega used on
these drives, imm and ppa. However I can't load these modules and they
don't seem to be included in the Debian versions of the 3.12 kernel.

I've checked the source listing of the kernel.org 3.12 kernel and
there are indeed imm and ppa modules still in the kernel. So how do I
build these?, do I have to build a new kernel from source or can I
build just the modules somehow?


Kind regards,
Adrian.

If it helps:

   brian@desktop:~$ locate imm ppa  | grep scsi
   /lib/modules/3.2.0-4-686-pae/kernel/drivers/scsi/imm.ko
   /lib/modules/3.2.0-4-686-pae/kernel/drivers/scsi/ppa.ko

This is on stable and you might need a 3.12 kernel for other reasons.
