The 4 in there means: "the fourth partition in the first (a) HD". Don't know quite how this applies to ZIP-drives. But then again: if you say it works that way, well... That's the way it works. ;-) On Mar 31 Thorsten Brenner wrote: > Hello everybody, > > Now my Zip-Drive is running. > The pecu

Hey there Mandrake doesn't install support for your zip drive during installation by default. You can re-config/compile your kernel and add scsi/parallel device support as you suggested. I have this neato application called jaZIP that's kinda groovy. You would need xforms lib 0.88 for that to w
