Parallel port Zip install?
 

I have RH9 up and running and I want to add a Iomega Zip drive 250 (par.) to my machine.

I'm assuming that the RH kernel will already have SCSI support enabled. Now, perhaps it is working already, but I don't know what /dev/ to look for.

I know it should probably be /dev/sda - and it probably would have been /dev/zip if it was plugged in when I installed... but there is no /dev/sda...

Please help!

put /dev/sda4 in your fstab, and from CLI load the imm driver.

for Slackware this is my line to use parport zip250
this allows my user to access zip and to read/write to/from it also. the "noauto" tells slack not to mount the drive on boot up. and my user has permission to mount/unmount drive anytime.

If you have not already browsed it, this can be useful:

Thanks! The only problem is that sda4 is not showing up... I'll check it out again when I get back to my box ;)

in my fedora / redhat box i have a zip 100 para. zip drive

this is what i do

modprobe ppa
or imm in your case try them both just to be safe

mkdir /zip so you have the mount point
mount /dev/sda /zip
ive seen it
/dev/sda1 through 4 try them all into you get the right one
