I'v done it!--Finily I have done it!

[Luke Davis]

Hello all:

As several of you know: I have been trying to get my myna palmtop to
function as a terminal on my linux installation, for the last 6 months, or
so . . .

Well, tonight, because of some information sent to the blinux list, I got
it working great!

This is so wonderfull, that I just thought you all should know!

I'm using the commo com program, on the myna; through a 7 pin, nulmodem
serial cable, if anyone was wondering . . .

Now if I could only figure out how to use a parallel zip drive under
linux, I'd be all set!

Type at ya lator . . .

-Luke

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
