I decided to reread the howto's and found this link in one of them! http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue28/lg_tips28.html#atapi It basically says that if you use the ide-floppy module with an Atapi drive everything will work except the eject of the disk. It also mentions to use the scsi module only. So I decided to burn the latest copy of knoppix and see if it detects my Zip drive, which it does in dmesg as a scsi attachment along with my other ide-scsi drives. I also did a lsmod to see just what modules it loaded, and my lists are very similar to the one that knoppix uses. But I do not get any indication in my dmesg, or kern.log when I reboot with all the modules removed, and only have the scsi pointing to a zip drive device. I am at a loss as to why I do not get a message in dmesg for my zip-drive. Knoppix also see's it as a Atapi 250 iomega zip drive so something is not right with my hardware detection. With all the custom kernels I compile I should at least have it show up in dmesg. So in a way it makes sense if the kernel does not see the drive no mater what modules I try to load at boot time then I am unable to use the drive. I know that I could just install knoppix to my harddrive and be done with it, but I should not have to due this as both are based on Debian.
