The above probably won't work - "modprobe" long ago superseded "insmod" because insmod was so unreliable. Your message didn't >say if you tried my previous suggestion:

Dear Mario, I found some more information on Zip drives, which possibly is the solution to your problem. A Redhat book I have from a couple of years ago says the following: As of August 1998, Iomega started shipping parallel port Zip drives with a different interface that is supported by the imm (Zip Plus) driver. That sounds like your drive, so in your case ppa would not be the correct driver - my mistake! The books then goes on to suggest trying the following: modprobe imm mount /dev/sda4 /zip If that still doesn't work, it suggests doing this: modprobe parport_pc modprobe imm mount /dev/sda4 /zip Let us know how it works out. regards, Robert Storey
