I tried to manually add my external zip drive to MDK 8.2, following the
HowTo, as well as the information given on the Iomega Web. The two clashed a
bit on what to do, so I probably never made the right combinations happen
for it to work for me. When I decided that I didn't have anything to lose in

You don't need to reboot, you can do a 'mount -a' to mount all entries in

If you are in LM81, that means devfs is in place. Devfs is probably one of
the better advancements in the Linux world within the last few years. It

well, USB is heaps faster then parallel,,
If you are sure that you can get usb working, then go for it, its much much
faster then parallel...
Firewire or USB2 would be much faster again, but normal USB is alot better

I'm not sure if you have a SCSI, parallel or what, but for mine (parallel),
I got it working by having a disk inserted and then using the commands
"insmod parport" and "insmod ppa" (without the quotes of course). That's
all it took. A lot easier than setting this thing up about 3 years ago.

Hi Marcia. Did you creat a mount point in /mnt? It should be
/mnt/zip
Here is the line from /etc/fstab file for my internal zip drive:
/dev/hdd4 /mnt/zipvfatuser,noauto 0 0
Are you able to mount the zip drive via the commandline?
In an X terminal type mount /mnt/zip

Yeah, I tried the mini-HOWTO for the zip drive a couple of months ago when I was
trying to get my parallel port zip going, and I found that the mini-HOWTO is
OUTDATED. I spent several days trying to do exactly what it said, trying to
recompile the kernel, reinstalling the whole system (mdk 6.1)..

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

I think the 4th partition is universal, I'm not sure
why they use the 4th partition, but I noticed that
most zips do, for linux that is, I don't know what
windoze zips do.

I suppose this is very likely. daisy-chaining parallel-port devices is a

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
