You probably need to load the aha152x module into your kernel - with
something like:
"modprobe aha152x"
In addition, my driver needed some parameters passed to it. I made this a
braindead activity by putting the following lines in conf.modules:
# -DSETUP0="{ IOPORT, IRQ, SCSI_ID, RECONNECT, PARITY, SYNCHRONOUS, DELAY, EXT_TRANS }"
options aha152x "aha152x=0x140,11,7"
(Obviously, you need to know what IRQ and base address _your_ card is on)
Once the module is loaded, the Zip drive on my system is the only SCSI
device, so it shows up as /dev/sda. So, I can "fdisk /dev/sda" and make
new partitions on a disk, "mke2fs /dev/sda1" once I have specified an ext2
parition for the first partition on the disk, etc.
Once a filesystem is on the disk, you can mount it just like any other
partition:
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
Good luck!
Later,
Dale
