<pre wrap="">Hello,
I recently upgraded to kubuntu 7.10. I was told that my computer
overloaded. I found out about (dbkg --configure -a) and recovered from
the crash. I have an Iomega 100 Plus zip drive and I thought it would be
handy to be able to backup my laptop to it. The setup requires the imm
driver to be loaded. I have done a fairly exhaustive search, but cannot
find a place to download it from. The mini-howto that comes up in my
searchesgives a url to go to, but it is no longer available.
If anyone could send me the imm driver or give me a location to go to I
would appreciate it.

You already have it, unless you compiled your kernel (in which case you
wouldn't be asking this, so you didn't). You can load it with the following
command:
sudo modprobe imm
Just to confirm, your Zip drive is an external parallel one, right? If this is
correct, and the module imm doesn't work, you can also try the ppa module,
which supports (even) older models.

Thank you. As soon as I did ( sudo modprobe imm
) my zip plus drive was recognized. I added a line to /etc/fstab and I
was able to mount a disk as root. I have searched for a "monitor for
new hardware application" and have not found one.<br>
