How do I set this up as a slave device on IDE1? I've seen plenty of info on parallel port Zip, but never on the IDE version.
That's the way I've got mine. Basically, the internal Zips just appear as removable media regular disks, so it's not difficult at all. My /etc/fstab looks roughly like this: # ATAPI Zip, using IDE-SCSI Emulation /dev/sda /zip vfat rw,noauto,user,exec 0 0 If you're not using IDE-SCSI Emulation (i.e. a stock SuSE kernel), the device is probably /dev/hdb instead of /dev/sda. I will also note that my particular disk is kind of weird, and /dev/hdb4 is probably the vfat partition you want to mount. If you don't want to use the vfat file system, and were only going to use the ext2 file system on your Zip disks, you could also completely reformat the disks using: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdb # mke2fs /dev/hdb That would allow you to mount /dev/hdb as a block device, instead of /dev/hdb4 (don't forget to edit /etc/fstab!). For more details, have a look at `man fstab' ;). -- -=|JP|=- Jon Pennington | Atipa Linux Solutions -o) jpennington@atipa.com | Kansas City, MO /\\ 816-241-2641 x121 | http://www.atipa.com _\_V -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
