I have an Iomega 100Mb Zip drive that connects to my parallel port. I use OS/2
and Linux on my machine and was wondering if there is any hope of seeing a
driver for this particular piece of h/w under Linux?
Thanks in Advance!!

Which kernels did you check? A driver for the IOMEGA Parallel Port ZIP is
in.

The newest kernel 2.0 do support parallel zip check it out. Though i have
not try it yet..will soon

Suffice to say, it is quite functional, and you can even format a Zip
disk as ext2!

Yes, it is quite nice, isn't it? Thanks to Grant! I just installed oneQuote:> PP Zip support has been out since 1.3.74, I think, and it works quite

You might want to take a look at the utility described at
http://www.scripps.edu/~jsmith/zipit ; I'm trying to recruit people to
use it so I can get some feedback on how to improve it...

1. support for parallel-port ZIP drive under redhat 4.2 ?
Check out http://www.torque.net/linux-pp.html. You'll find drivers for
zip drives and other parallel port devices for linux systems. I don't
know if there are any peculiarities with RedHat 4.2 that would cause
problems. I have heard that you can't use your printer if you're using
the zip drive on the same printer port in linux systems, but that may
have changed by now. Alternatively, you can attach a second parallel
port to you system.
good luck
