I'm not sure if this means that my kernel is good enough.
> cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: IOMEGA Model: ZIP 100 Rev: 44.W
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
It appears that the zip drive is being recognized by the kernel. I
tried mounting it on /dev/sda4 (that's what the howto's say to use)
using '/dev/sda4 /zip vfat noauto,user 0 0'
in fstab
> mount /zip
mount: /dev/sda4 is not a valid block device
I appreciate the help,
Steve
