"What does it do?" Duh! The instant after I replied with that question I remembered man (I've been using Linux 3 years now, and rarely use man any more) and read that ziptool will do an eject, add or remove read-only, or add or remove password proctection to a zip disk. I use the eject button for ejection. It won't work if the disk is mounted, so that tells me to umount. I've never used password or ro protection, but I now know what to use if I need them. This SuSE email list is a great educational forum! JLK On Saturday 28 October 2000 06:28, Don Hansford wrote:

Hi, I'm quite new to Linux so forgive me if this question seems ignorant.
I have an internal IDE100 zip drive which works fine under Linux but I have been unable to install any kind of zip tools and get them to work. I seems that they only want to work with SCSI devices. Now I know you can compile linux to emulate IDE devices as SCSI so the software will work but all the information on this subject either doesn't make much sense of doesn't work. Therefore could someone point me in the direction of either some software that will work with IDE drives or the information to emulate IDE as scsi. I am running SuSE 6.4 at work and 7 at home and I am having the same problems on both. regards Matthew

IIRC, SuSE had a ziptools package once? I think I saw it in 6.2 (never used it though)
