Zip Tools

Zip Tools

[Steve Holmes]

I'm looking for "zip tools" for accessing Iomega zip dirves with
linux.  I can already access the drive for basic functions but thought
I saw someone mention ziptools here on the list a while back.  Might
anyone know where to find this package?  Searches on google and
freshmeat do not yield anything near what I'm looking for.  the
closest thing I found on freshmeat was some X package.  There is
something else out there, isn't there?

Thanks for any ideas.

Try a search for ziptool.

If you have slackware, then it should already be installed as part of the a series I believe.

Try man ziptool before trying to find a copy.

Also note that it only works with parallel port drives, and not with ide/atapi drives.

Hth.

ziptool only works with jazz drives on parallel and only zip 100mb drives.
The zip 250MB drive isn't supported.On Sun, 16 Feb 2003, Gregory Nowak

Re: Zip Tools

Well, this is turning out to be a moot point then.  I have an internal
IDE/atapi style zip-100 drive.  I can currently mount it for access to
either FAT or ext/linux (my choosing) without any problems but I
thought these other tools might enable me to do things like auto
detecting the presence of a disk, disk locking, etc.

Thanks anyway.

Red Hat Speakup

[Ron Marriage]

I would like to update my main computer running Red Hat 7.3
to the 8.0 version that includes the speakup setup and
configuration during installation.

I am currently running emacspeak on this system as I share
it with other family and they use KDE.

I run speakup on an older dedicated speach machine, also
running 7.3.

What I need to know is if I install speakup on the family
machine, is there a problem when the others run KDE? Must I
have duel boot kernels?

Thanks in advance.
Ron

Re: Red Hat Speakup

[Kenny Hitt]

Hi.  I use speakup on all my systems.  My sighted girl friend also uses
the computers with Gnome.  You shouldn't have any problems with speakup
on any of your computers.  To make it easier for my girl friend, I have
my system start X-windows during boot.  This way she sees a GUI login
prompt and all I have to do is use ctl-alt-f1 to switch to a text
console with speakup.
