The parallel port zip drive *is
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

I once heard that you need to activate SCSI emulation in the kernel (I
didn't see that in dmesg printout) to use the parallel port Zip drive. (I
have a SCSI Zip drive, so I didn't have to deal with this). Caitlyn, is
this is accurate or not?
Good luck, :^)

Okay for some reason this did not work. I have below listed the contents of
my /etc/conf.modules file and also the bootup messages.
alias sound es1370
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
alias bloc

OK, you need to add the following line to your /etc/conf.modules file:
alias block-major-8 ppa
If you have the ppa driver in your kernel, that should make it work after a
reboot. The physical device will be /dev/sda4, so if you created a
It is an early model parallel port drive.

If setting up your zip is anything like setting up my scsi DAT drive, you might try
looking in /lib/modules/2.2.5-25/scsi (the modules dir for your current kernel,
6.0 is 2.2.5-15, yours might be different)
Then try to load modules to see which one works-
/sbin/modprobe aic7xxx <---that's

With the zip drive, it may be as simple as adding a single line to a
configuration file. Is it a parallel, SCSI, or ID
