Hi, Amanda. I have used both external and internal zip drives with Linux
with no problems.
If you are using Red Hat 7.2 chances are that Red Hat has already detected
it, and configured it for /mnt/zip100.0/
So all I have to do to mount my internal zip drive is typemount
/mnt/zip100.0/
Then, it comes up working just fine. I do not have to use any special tools
or anything. Linux is all you need, and making sure that the drive is
configured properly. Fortunately, Red Hat has traditionally pnp the zip
drive, set it up for me, and I've been able to get to my data real quick.
If you are using another distributions other than Red Hat make sure to build
IDE Floppy support in the kernel if you have an internal zip, or the SCSI
zip drive support if you are using the parallel or SCSI.
