Forgive me if this seems a little shallow, but
it sounds as if the Zip disk isn't formatted (or
not formatted vfat). Even if it worked before,
in the hot humid weather (that much of the
northern hemisphere is now experiencing) Zip
disks can go bad. If there's no valuable data on
the disk, why not g

i've not used a SCSI or parallel Zip drive with Linux, but i have had
good results with the internal IDE version (100MB). to use it, you need
your kernel compiled with the ide-floppy support enabled.

There is a mini HOWTO on this. Which zip disk will you be using, Parallel,
IDE or SCSI? My experience has been that as long as you don't use the Tecra

Hi Damir,
I am running an external SCSI Zip on a NCR 53c810-Controller, using the
53c8xx-driver, too. I have NEVER experienced or heard about any problems with
this setup - my to disks, DAT tape and CD-Rom are quite happy.
I don't know what a Zipzoom adaptor is - so I cannot comment on that.

Unless my memory fails me, I've formatted a zip disk

I have not followed every detail of this tread, but I think there may be

Ok let me correct myself. What you did was to highlevel format the
zip drive to work with a dos or mac file system (like doing a mkfs).
But you CANNOT lowlevel format a zip drive to increase it's capacity
as you can for a floppy. You have no control

You're absolutely right, Mike!

As far as Mac and PC flavors, I believe it's possible to reformat a Mac
Zip to a PC Zip, and vice versa - They come preformatted for much the
same reason floppies do - for our convenience.

Not only that, but I don't think that you can low level format a zip

which is why they come in PC and Mac flavors.

/mnt is a directory with no files. You must mount to an existing
