Any pointers for setting up a ZIP drive with RH 4.1
would be very much appreciated.

Steven.

P.S. The ZIP is configured as /dev/hdd

Read the Zip-Drive and Zip-Install mini-HOWTOs in /usr/doc/HOWTO/mini.
If you still have problems after that, try asking a specific question
here.

I gather from the /dev/hdd designation that you're running an IDE
internal Zip?

If so, do you see any indication during bootup that it's being detected?
And are you adding the drive to an existing system, or are you setting
up a new system that includes the Zip? Where is it placed in regard to
your other IDE devices (meaning slave, master, standalone, etc.)?

1. Iomega Zip Drive Problems RH 5.2

I have a Zip100 parallel port drive that works fine under NT but
using RH5.2 I'm having problems with the ppa module loading and
mounting the drive. I keep getting "device or resource busy" error
messages and ppa will not reconize the parallel port on 278 or 378
after changing the bios for the port. lp module is not being loaded
either. I checked this using the lsmod command. I've tried doing a
clean installation from scratch also and after choosing the "Install
SCSI"
menu and the parallel port ppa driver off of the Redhat menu, it still
doesn't see it. I'm using a Tyan S1564D Dual P166MMX board. The /mnt/zip
directory is there also. I've even tried "ppa=0x278" to try to force it
on that port to no avail. Help!

Thanks,
Walter
