Zip 250 Parallel Port

Zip 250 Parallel Port

Post by Damian T. Herric » Wed, 13 Jan 1999 04:00:00



Here's one for you. I'm getting ready to wipe away an old Win95 machine and
put Red Hat 5.2 on it, so I can do data processing from home. I have a Zip
250, and have looked over the howto's for zip installs etc, and haven't seen
any mention of the 250. The 100 install doesn't seem hard, but I am
wondering if anyone has run into any trouble with the newer Zip format. If
you have let me know, otherwise I'll just see what I can do this weekend and
be back to let you know next week. Thanks.

Zip 250 Parallel Port

The ZIP250 works fine in Linux. Just load the IMM driver, same as the
Zip Plus.

I am in the process of updating the HOWTO now.

1. Iomega Zip 250 parallel port drive.

I'm having a spot of bother installing an Iomega Zip 250 parallel port
drive. I've been through all the HowTos etc...

My configuration is as follows :

Red Hat Linux release 6.0 (Hedwig)
Kernel 2.2.5-15 on an i686

I believe that all the relevant SCSI support and the imm module are
loaded as they should be. When I try and mount the disk however I get
the following message :

mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/sda4 as a block device
(maybe `insmod driver'?)

When I try and format a disk I get the following :

Unable to open /dev/sda4

I would be very grateful for any tips or help with this.
