Re: [TCLUG:20890] zip drive

[Andy Zbikowski <andyzb@ltiflex.com>]

First of all, IDE, SCSI, USB, or parrell drive?

Then, is it a zip100, zip plus, or zip250?

If it's a Zip, you want to be using the ppa driver not the imm driver.
ZipPlus and Zip250's use the imm driver. It also sounds like your parrell
port is trying to share an irq with your ehternet card. 

I haven't a clue if it's a USB drive. 

If it's scsi or ide, you should be set to go as is. mount -t vfat /dev/hdc4
/mnt/zip (replacing hdc with the correct device name of course.) Zip disks
are always partitioned so that they are the fourth partition on the disk.
You can repartition the disks, but then you're fstab would be inconsistent. 

Hope that helps, good luck!
