Martin;
Glad it worked. Just to set the record straight. I am very new to Linux, however;
dos and windows I'm not. Fat and MSDOS mode are 16 bit, they typically can only handle
the 8.3 filenames (this is the old system), the new system VFat is 32 bit and can
handle
the long file names. T
Hi!
This is the one that works:
mount -t msdos /dev/hdc4 /mnt/zip
Many thanks to you and everybody else for solving the problem. Your help is
much appreciated.
Next question(s) :-)
Why hdc4 and not hdc?
Can I put an entry for mounting the Zip drive in /etc/fstab?
What is "supermount"?
Rega
Martin,
You need to have a zip disk in the drive before it can be mounted. Also
besides the instructions below you should run "modprobe imm" as root
_before_ carrying them out. The sytem has to have the module loaded and
ready.

Ummm,
Well, first of all it won't be /dev/sda because it is IDE, so it
will be /dev/hdc, /dev/hdd, /dev/hab
(most likely one of those three depending whether it is master or
slave and cabled to channel 1 or 2,
second, /dev/hdd4 would mount a FACTORY formatted Zip, and it is
unlikely to be vfat
Hi!
OK, I've done all that but I still can't access the drive. "Mount" tells me
that "vfat" is the wrong file system. Any further ideas please?

Martin;
To mount your internal zip drive; 1st - open a terminal window; 2nd - change to
directory "/mnt"; 3rd - make a directory for it (I used "zip"); 4th - now mount
it.
i.e.
cd /
cd /mnt
md zip
cd /
mount t- vfat /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip
The "sda4" in "/dev" maybe different on your machine. Chec

drive
Hi!
Just having spent a couple of days installing and configuring Mandrake, I find
that I can access all my drives *except* my internal ATAPI Zip drive. Can
someone please tell me if it's possible to access it and if so, how?
Regards,
Martin
