[newbie] One more zip drive question

[Jim Snyder]

Hi

I am currently upgrading from 5.3 to 6.0 on another computer after giving up on
this one getting my ATAPI zip drive to work.

Under 5.3, my parallel port zip drive was found. Under 6.0 during the upgrade
it wasn't. What gives here? Shouldn't a newer kernel be downward compatable?

Many thanks for the help.

Jim
