I have a newer PC and the internal zip drive is recognized in the BIOS and then is recognized automatically during the boot process. There was no need to install modules or make changes on the kernel. I initially started with an older computer. Even though the Zip drive was connected on the same cable as an ATAPI CD-ROM, I was able to get it running by enabling SCSI_floppy support when I recompiled the kernel. If your zip drive is a parallel port type, I'm not sure. You might want to open the file: /usr/doc/HOWTO/en-txt/mini/ZIP-Drive.txt.gz That should have some suggestions on how to approach the problem. If you do enable SCSI_floppy support in the kernel, it will most likely be sda4 that you will want to add to /etc/fstab -Glen > > > > I checked the log and there is no mention of the zip drive as hd?
