I now have a semi (hokey actually) working zip drive.

What I did was add "ide_floppy" (sans quote marks) to the /etc/modules file.

Now I can mount the zip *but* only if I insert a zip disk during initial boot. Further by doing things that-a-way, once I umount the drive I can only eject the disk during a reboot. Most unsatisfactory.

But, things are getting ... slighty better.

Hi,

Yes, I have had that post bookmarked. What I am unsure of is that the howto is written for hoary hegdehog and I'm using dapper drake. Though there maybe no difference.
