Hi Robert, for me it works. It takes the following modules: parport, parport_pc, scsi_mod, sd_mod, imm. (It says that imm is for more recent drives, while ppa is for older ones.) On my system I can simply do: modprobe imm mount -t msdos /dev/sda4 /zip , but you can try to modprobe each module separately. BTW, what file system do you use on your ZIP?
