I've been playing around with trying to get this 100Mb parallel port
zip drive working.  (RedHat 5.2 + 2.0.36 and 2.2.6 kernels).

I've got the actual drivers working (loading as modules etc), but the
driver keeps reporting that there's no device present!

I've spend several hours on this (recompiling the kernel and modules
etc), and tried all sorts of things.  Same result each time.

Although I'm certain that I've got all the driver issues sorted out -
I now know exactly what needs to be loaded etc.

Once I get it working, it seems that I'll need to set up
/etc/conf.modules to get the device drivers (scsi_mod, sd_mod
parport_config and ppa, I think they are called) loaded automagically.

The HOWTOs make it sound so easy, but not so.  What do you do if it
insists on reporting that there's no device present?

Frustrating.

Has anyone had any luck with this?

Thanks.

Cheers
Tony
