Well, let me make a small comment about that. I know its different, I have an
internal IDE Zip drive, and I always used 4 as the partition in my /etc/fstab
line as well. However, I had my 'Nix box at the local county Library swapping
files with the Lib administrator (a close friend of mine who is a Linux admirer
as well). If he formatted any Zip cart under Win 2000, my setup could not read
it. He even booted up into a MS-DOS floppy environment, and formatted a Zip
cart from there and I still could not read it. However, if I change that 4 to a
1...then I can read his formatted carts. Then however, I could no longer read
my Zip carts (even though they came from the factory pre-formatted). So...I
thought I'd be creative and leave the partition number off from the fstab line.
Heh, then it wouldn't read *any* Zip carts. <smile>
Anybody out there know why this is, and if there is a remedy? Thanks!
