Re: Floppy doesn't work
You did remember to plug everything into the correct place, right? Floppy drives are supported by BIOS, and RedHat supports them right out of the box, too. Zip drives are completely different devices... usually IDE or there abouts. Floppy drives run off of the floppy controller. Basically, if you hooked the floppy drive up correctly, it'll work. If it doesn't work, then it's either hooked up wrong or it's not a floppy drive :) Even LS-120 drives are supported for regular floppy disk media by the defacto floppy driver. Zip drives a lil strange, though. I've never used one but I had heard that you gotta use the first logical partition to access the media (/dev/hdd5 for example). And remember.. NEVER put CD-ROMs, CD-RWs, Zip drives, etc, with hard disks on the same controller :) On Fri, 8 Mar 2002, ebinc wrote: > I have a floppy and a 100 zip drive I cant get to work the floppy very > important, the floppy is a teac i just got it from bestbuy, Red Hat doesn't > even recognize it, The 100 zip does get recognized in the hardware section > but it does not work I guess its cause of a driver would it be hard to > install a driver if I can find one? and is there a way to get the floppy to > work? > Thanks Ed > > > > ___ > Redhat-list mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list > -- -Statux ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
