My method to get iomega external zip drives to work under FC1 has been to do: modprobe ppa and then use /dev/sda4. This used to work and now it doesn't. In addition zip disks created on an internal iomega drive l associated with /dev/hdd can not be read on the external zip drive. Currently most commands say /dev/sda4 is not a block device and when I do a mkfs it starts but when it starts writing blocks the iomega drive sounds like a machine gun which never stops and the process can't be easily killed. Any wisdom would be appreciated. This has happened with two different iomega external drives so I am puzzled.. -- ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University One Trinity Place.
