Zip drive on Ubuntu

> Does anyone know how to mount a zip drive on Ubuntu?


I have got an IDE ZIP 100 drive too an all I had to do was:

1) type 'modprobe ide-floppy' (to get it working instantly)
2) add 'ide-floppy' in /etc/modules (to make it work permanently)
3) add '/dev/hdb4  /media/zip_interne auto rw,user,noauto,sync 0 0' in
fstab
4) create directory /media/zip_interne of course
5) type 'mount /media/zop-interne'

And automagically, Gnome put a lovely, very cute ZIP disk icon on the
desktop, and opened a Nautilus window to show the content of the ZIP
disk :-)

HTH ?

As for partitions names (since it seems you tried many digits), I
gathered that for example hdb1 is for the ext filesystem, and hdb4 is
for DOS/fat filesystem.
Also, I read that if you don't specifiy any partition number at all (ie,
just "hdb", not hdb1 or hdb4), the it refers to 250MB drives, not to
good old 100MB drives. But it's just from memory so please anyone feel
free to correct me if this is BS ! ;-)


Regards,

Vince
