I'd like to use Linux with an Iomega Zip Drive. Has anyone had
any luck doing this? If so, which Linux distribution did you use?

Thanks. Please post an answer and cc a copy to me.

No problem with SCSI. I used a SCSI Zip drive hosted by an Adaptec
AHA-1542B under Slackware.

Works fine with the parallel port drive, too, assuming you're using
the latest kernels (the drivers are included in the SCSI support
section).

Sure, and there's even a mini-HOWTO on it. Look at
http://www.linux.org/, under "FAQs and HOWTOs".

We've been having a fair amount of success with Debian at MITRE
Bedford. There's an inside-MITRE NFS mirror of the full distribution
at snowcrash:/export/home0/linux-dist which is really nice for
installs.

Done.
