[expert] ZIP drive under Mandrake 7.02?
I've got a parallel ZIP drive attached to my Linux-Mandrake 7.02 machine (a pentium 200 mhz, 64 megs -- spot on for my home network!). I'm looking for the simplest, most direct method to make this thing work. I've found and devoured the HOWTOs and all, but they're written long before Linux-Mandrake 7.02 was available, and I'm not technically saavy enough with Linux to know where to pick up... A step-by-step would be wonderful... === Andrew Vogel: Program Manager at the University of Cincinnati College of Pharmacy. http://pharmacy.uc.edu/default.html (513)-558-3784 ===

Re: [expert] ZIP drive under Mandrake 7.02?
Andrew, See my script attached below. If you get errors running it cut and paste it into a new file. For some reason I've run across wierd errors mailing scripts to people. I think some hidden control characters get let lying around or something. The script will start an older zipdrive, the one that uses the ppa driver. If yours in newer or is the 250MB one change all occurances of ppa to imm. You can put this in your run level. Once the script runs ( ./zipdrive start ) then add the following entry to your fstab: /dev/sda4 /mnt/zipvfat noauto,user,exec,uid=1001,gid=100,umask=002 0 0 change uid, gid and umask to whatever you want or just remove them. If you have problems let me know. (I'm gzipping it to avoid those problems I was talking about). Sheldon. -- == "Definitions involving chicken heads no longer apply." -Jon katz == zipdrive.gz

I have read the posts and understand the process but have never used a parallel port zip, so I felt uncomfortable giving direct advice.
