Try 'mount -t vfat /dev/hdd4 /zip'. Hope that helps, Chris -- __ _ -o)/ / (_)__ __ ____ __ Chris Reeves /\\ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / ICQ# 22219005 _\_v __/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\

I use a parallel port zip. When I insert a vfat formatted floppy I have to refer to the device as sda4. When I insert an ext2 formatted floppy I use sda1. If you are using previously formatted (vfat ) floppies it might be accessible via /dev/hdd4. When your format your own with ext2 then /dev/hdd1 would be the device. You can use /dev/hdd4 /zip auto noauto,user 0 0 in /etc/fstab. JLK

Hello Sjoerd, Try what worked for me. If your /etc/fstab entry fit the Zip drive refers to /dev/hdd1 then you must remove the partition number " 1 "............................................................................................^. Then you can mount the Zip with " mount /zip " If there is NO fstab entry for the Zip then you should issue the same mount cmd that you noted in your post, BUT WITHOUT the partition number 1. I now have the ability to mount both LS-120 super floppies and SCSI MO ( magneto optical ) cartridges. I do not have a zip drive; so I have not tested it. I know that there is a 'special' Zip cartridge called "ZipTools" which is formatted to be read by BOTH MS-DOS and Apple Mac machines. The ZipTools disk may not mount properly, yet regular MS-DOS formatted Zip disks should work OK. Good Luck! ................ Pete VC Sjoerd Venema wrote:

This is precisely wrong. The active partition for the ZIP *IS* number 4. Anything else is Linux-only, and can't be utilized by other operating systems. The correct fstab entry for an IDE ZIP drive that is a secondary slave is: /dev/hdd4 /zip vfat noauto,user 0 0 The correct way to use a parallell ZIP drive is to modprobe ppa and having the following fstab entry: /dev/sda4 /zip vfat noauto,user 0 0 My experience is that if there is an Adaptec AHA2940 controller as well in the computer, ppa does not work as planned... All in all, ZIP drives ALWAYS use the fourth partition ( a rotten apple from the mac world ). Of course, you can fdisk ZIP disks, and create whatever partitions you like... But in the end, if you use the disks to transfer data to other computers, it's only the fourth partition that counts. - -tosi -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE6zPDI6mRH+PEpr2YRAiufAJ9VrIewBF0hcS1qZ/rU6mUp6AOofwCdFJVr rZ/1jmqlJH4y0y24niunxjY= =J8CY -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
That depends how the BIOS sees the IDE zipdrive....... - As a Harddisk, then yes you are right..... - As a IDE Floppy, then no your are wrong (Windows B: drive)...... Tor Sigurdsson wrote:

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 You mean this ? [from /var/log/boot.msg] <4>hdd: IOMEGA ZIP 100 ATAPI, ATAPI FLOPPY drive Then oops. Wrong. I still use /dev/hdd4. Also, according to THIS article: http://www.iomega.com/support/documents/30065.html You should NOT let the BIOS control your ZIP drive in any case, so oops, YOU are wrong.
