Can you see your zip drive at all or just can't access it? If you don't
see it at all, there is a thread just a couple of days ago that worked
for me. Basically you have to manually enter the drive in the list and
then tell the system to find it. It's a SCSI device on the parallel
port. Not a big deal, modify two files and you're done. Worked good
for me. Also, if you've got one of the later Mandrake CD's you can open
the install, go to the section where it installs things like drives and
simply answer yes to the SCSI question. It'll automatically set up your
zip drive for ya'.
If this is too much I can send you the details. My data is at work so
can get it tomorrow if needed. You can do it, check the archives for
the Newbies at the Mandrake site, it shouldn't be older than about a
week.
See ya'
