Anyone have any idea how I can get a 100 MB Iomega parallel port drive to work. I've connected it, have a zip drive in the drive, and rebooted. AFAIK, the system did not recognize the drive. I've spent an hour googling and am afraid I will have to recompile the kernel to add support for this think. Heck with that! I bet openSuse has an easier way. I've also browsed around Yast but couldn't find anything there. Finally, I installed 2 programs....gtkzip and ziptool. Neither work.
Thanks for your help!

I'm sorry, can't recall the details how I exactly installed years ago my parallel Iomega 100Mb drive on a laptop running SUSE Linux 9.1! Maybe two info helps you, 1. needed the ppa module loaded, 2. the device can be mounted now e.g. via fstab /dev/sdaX /media/zippo vfat noauto,user,exec,sync 0 0 sdaX could be easily sda4, if originally formatted media...
