Iomega Zip plus on Linux

Hello,

I've already compiled the kernel with support of SCSI PPA3 Iomega device
driver in order to make linux support my Zip drive

And although I've been told that it should work perfectly at the next boot,
I had nothing ..
I guess the problem is due to my Zip drive which is Plus one

I need about infos about this one, is there any way to make a Zip Plus drive
work on linux ???

For the ZipPlus drives you need to use the imm driver and not the ppa
driver. The best way to get this is load the newest stable kernel 2.2.3
from www.linuxhq.com

Hey man i'm in the same boat.  I've got a zipplus but i need my scsi card to
work first.  Are you trying to get it up by parallel or scsi?
Tell me when you get it!
