Sometimes the dos drivers can, since zipspeak is an OS running on top of another, not let zipspeak find it. In short, don't load the dos cdrom driver and see if that helps. I had to do this on my cd rom drive, and sound card, when I used to run linux on top of dos this way. Another thing to be concerned about is does linux support the scsi controller you're using? Even if it does, does zipspeak support it? What kind of scsi controller do you have and I'll see what module may need to be loaded. Most likely, you won't need to compile a new kernel. I can't list the scsi controllers linux supports, there is too many of them. On Sat, 27 May 2000, Dave Hunt wrote: > Hi all, > > I have installed Zipspeak and use the 'ltlk' kernel image.
