I have been trying to get my Iomega Zip drive to work with my NEC Versa
6200MX notebook to no avail (using RedHat 4.2).

when I do:

        insmod ppa

I get the following error

        kernel: PPA: ports at 0x378 are not available

if I try

        modprobe ppa

I get the following:

        modprobe: Can't locate module block-major-8

I can print from the parralel port and the zip drive does work with my
desktop computer. Can you guide me?

Regards,
