I got a zip drive about 9 months ago, but was never able
to get it to work. I thought the problem might have been
with hardware issues with my 486, but my new computer
won't work either. The parrallel port is at 0x278/IRQ5.
I am running 2.0.32 (Debian 1.3). When I try to load a
module without a disk, I get an error. If I load it with
a preformated dos zip drive, the load hangs. If at this
point I try to access sda4 the system locks up. Heres the
output of my attempts to load the module:
blunier# insmod ppa ppa_base=0x278 ppa_nybble=1

blunier# rmmod ppa

<now I insert a dos formated zip disk in the drive>
blunier# insmod ppa ppa_base=0x278 ppa_nybble=1

This command does not return.
What should I try next?
Thanks
