Is the pc card that came with it a scsi card, or and ide card or a
paralell card? You'll need to know this for it to work. If it's a scsi
card, then just compile the scsi driver as a module and you can insert the
module when you plug the card in. Chances are that it's not a scsi card
though because pcmcia scsi cards are so very expensive. I don't know
anything about the pc zip package, but whatever it uses isn't ttys0. That
would be a terminal, and it either uses a scsi disk /dev/sd*, an ide
interface /dev/hd*, or a paralell port /dev/lp*.
