I'm sorry, can't recall the details how I exactly installed years ago
my parallel Iomega 100Mb drive on a laptop running SUSE Linux 9.1!

Maybe two info helps you, 1. needed the ppa module loaded, 2. the
device can be mounted now e.g. via fstab
/dev/sdaX       /media/zippo    vfat    noauto,user,exec,sync 0 0
sdaX could be easily sda4, if originally formatted media...
