Almost forgot: DO NOT use the jaZip program on the contribs disk of
Mandrake 6.1 (or, probably 6.0). It is an obsolete version. I just filed a
bug report with Mandrake on jaZip with complete instructions on how to
build a current version from the source and where to get it. Other than
that glitch, jaZip is a neat tool for working with parallel port Jaz and
Zip drives.
