[debian-knoppix] [script] Scan for ZIP drives and create KDE desktop icon
i hacked up a little script that scans for Iomega ZIP drives and puts up
a desktop icon in KDE.
just run "sudo ./scanzip"
i tested it with my IDE ZIP 100 drive. would be nice if other people
could test this as well with their drives.
i guess USB and SCSI drives work as well, not sure if it works with ZIP
250 drives and parallel port drives.

# Scan for ZIP drive and create a desktop link for the first one found
# only one ZIP drive is supported with an icon.
