Externel parallell port iomega zip drives require the ppa module to be loaded before the lp (printer) module. The ppa modules will detect the drive and use scsi emulation to communicate with the device on /dev/sda Mini-Howto Zip-Drive has info on this. Since Craig is using an internel zip I don't think that scsi emulation is used.(/dev/hdb) New Zip disks 'vfat' are recognised as partitions /dev/hdb4. After formatting as 'ext2' they are named /dev/hdb1 so the /etc/fstab entry has to be changed to mount that device. cheers, Keith.
