On mandrakeuser.org there are many instructions on getting a ZIP drive to
work. You need to create a /dev/entry (if I remember well), then use
modprobe ppa (or another one) to kick the drive to life.
And then mounting it as a scsi device.
Assuming your ZIP drive is /dev/sca then you need to mount /dev/sca4 if
you have a DOS formatted disk in there, and /dev/sca1 if it is an EXT2
formatted disk.
Good luck, and do visit that site.
