Don't even bother to compile support for zip drives into the kernel. They have to be loaded modularly. Read http://howto.linuxberg.com/ptHOWTO/mini/ZIP-Drive and check out http://www.torque.net/~campbell/, you can grab the driver you need to compile from the second link. Recompile the kernel

Hi, Norma, OK, you have two parallel ports, and it clearly sees them both. I wonder if you have the PPA module loaded into your kernel. Do a modprobe on it to find out. If not, try doing an insmod ppa and then see if it works. If so, you can add the statement: /sbin/insmod.ppa to one of y
