Hey, a fellow backpacker! I'm using the USB interface, though, so it might be
different with the parallel port.
I downloaded the driver from:
http://www.micro-solutions.com/software_library/linux/index3.html
I started with 10.0 CE and never did get it working there. Hoped 10.0 Official
would fix the problem but it didn't.
After a lot of mucking around, I discovered that the fxload program is missing
from the Mandrake 10 distro, even though it's part of the Linux Hotplug
project on SourceForge. This program is responsible for downloading new
firmware to the drive to make it talk to Linux properly.
Check in /var/log/messages to see if there's a message saying that fxload is
missing. If so, download it from:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=17679
Hope this helps.
