Support for that controller is available, but you have to configure
and compile the kernel to get it. Do "make config" and answer "Y" to
at least these questions:
SCSI support?
SCSI disk support?
IOMEGA Parallel Port ZIP drive SCSI support?
If the Zip drive is your only SCSI disk, you will find it at /dev/sda.
Otherwise, it will be /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc. Iomega puts only one
partition on their DOS disks, but they call it partition 4.
Therefore, you would mount it something like this:
# mount -tmsdos /dev/sdb4 /mnt
I prefer to repartition the disks and put ext2 filesystems on them,
something like this:
# fdisk /dev/sdb
d
4
n
p
4
1
96
w
# mke2fs /dev/sdb1
# mount -text2 /dev/sdb1 /mnt
