Just recently I installed a parallel port based Zip250 drive on my box.
It works quite well with the "imm" driver that the Zip plus drive uses. 
I manually loaded the imm driver using insmod but when I tried to mount
the Zip drive as a VFAT file system a bunch of errors spewed out of the
kernel. I had built all of the FAT filesystem stuff into modules and I
thought that modules would be loaded automatically. I ran "modprobe
vfat" and then I was able to mount my Zip drive. Is there some trick to
get modules to load/unload automatically? I see that things like my
network card driver and sound stuff load automatically when needed but
this doesn't seem to be the case for the FAT filesystem stuff. 

My solution at this point will be to try loading the necessary modules
for the zip drive from /sbin/init.d/boot.local. 

Thanks,

Tony
