I have an Iomega USB Zip Drive which I have managed to connect to my SuSE 8.1 machine. I was wondering if the ziptools that are supplied with the distribution work? I have tried a few and it seems that they do not work. Do these tools work only with Internal Zip drives?? Thanks. Chris
Chris, Check the box or Iomega's web site. You may find that the tools work only on Windows machines or on Macs. Pete -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peter N.

These would be the ziptools 'supplied by SuSE', I think so no, they won't work on Windows, but maybe on a Mac (of the right variety) after recompiling...

I have suse 8.2 and an external, parallell port iomega zip drive+ (ie, 250 Mb). ziptools do work, at least the eject and ro function. Password I havent tried. I didn't try on suse 8.1 Are you sure your drive works with linux, ie, can you mount it? -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
