Try checking your BIOS settings, try using EPP - on one machine I have ECPEPP worked fine, but on another it wouldn't. You'll never get 28-24MB/min - don't believe the specifications.

Re: zip ECP/EPP driver?
I have a zip disk and the 1.2 rescue floppy system can see it. Though you might consider making it a module since it prevents use of a printer through the same parallel port. I used the debian stuff to make a new kernel. It worked very nicely. Thank you Debian. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

The old driver is really extremely slow but nevertheless we were happy to get it running on our Debian Linux boxes. An easy way to get the EPP support in 2.0 kernels is to use the parport patch at http://www.cyberelk.demon.co.uk/parport.html for 2.0.30. It goes on without problems had no problems compiling. It includes the modifications to the ppa driver to use 32 bit EPP. I originally installed this patch just so I could use my zip drive and my printer at the *same time*. Now linux actually shares the 2 better than Win95 ever did (not a big surprise). The extra speed was an unexpected bonus. Anyway, try it out. You'll probably like it.

zip ECP/EPP driver?
Does anyone know the new URL for the ECP/PP driver for Zip parallel port drive? (By Dave Campbell). He seems to have disappeared from the last location, at curtin.edu.au.

Well, there's a ppa driver (and has been for some time) but it doesn't support EPP/ECP modes and is very very slow... Or do you mean that the 'Curtin' driver (that supports EPP/ECP and gives rates up to 30 MByte/minute) has been folded into the kernel sources? Or the paraprt driver that allows sharing of ZIP and printer without rmmod'ing/insmod'ing the printer/ppa modules? I was at Campbell's page only last week and saw no notice on it moving... weird that it'd just disappear with no pointer to a new place or advance warning... /Michael -- |Linux: Turn on...Tune in...Fork out... | |Michael Tempsch, member of Ballistic Wizards, TIP#088, TDGP#20 | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Cell.Phone:+46 705487554 URL:http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/%7Ed1temp | -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
