[NTLUG:Discuss] Zip 250MB Drives

[Bug Hunter]

  if it is a parallel port zip, it requires the imm.o module.  you also
need the parport module loaded.

 modprobe parport
modprobe imm

  doing a modprobe imm may work, all by itself.  

  the zip drive should then show up under /dev/sda4, if it is a factory
formatted disk
