I am trying to use a LS120 drive with Linux SuSE 6.4. My LS120 works well with Windows98 and is conncected through tha parallel port (LPT1 under Windows) that I am currently using also for my printer. I read several messages on various usegroups and I followed this suggestion kindly sent by mhgraham@umich.edu: modprobe parport modprobe parport_pc modprobe lp (these modules may already be loaded) modprobe epat (the EPAT parallel-port protocol used by the LS-120) modprobe pf (the parallel-port IDE-floppy module) mkdir /mnt/ls120 mount /dev/pf0 /mnt/ls120 Everything is OK up to the last line, i.e. to the mount process. The driver ma)kes some noises, and it goes on making noises, but the device is not mounted (I waited several minutes and tried several times. I am sorry to say that I asked this question to the SuSE support, but their answer was disappointing. They told me to read the parport documentation, which I had obviously already read... Thank you very much for your attention.
