I finally got around to installing my external Zip 100 drive to one of my MDK boxes...If you don't mind me asking, how did you go about the re-install? Did you reformat the partitions or just install over what was already there? Someone's just lent me an external zip drive and Ifind the prospect of re-compiling the kernel too daunting to contemplate.
Before I tried to manually install it on my MDK 8.2 computer, I looked at several references, one of which from Iomega's own Web site (you pointed me there, indirectly.) Those instructions conflicted a bit with another set that came up as a high score in Google for what I was looking for. I tried it both ways, neither of which helped me get the drive to be recognized. I eventually ended up reinstalling 8.2 because I think I may have messed up my symlinks and got so terribly confused. On install, 8.2 found the drive and took care of everything for me. Phew!
