Re: /dev/sda1 or /dev/sda4 with ZIP disks
Hallo John!
thanks! Yes I know that, I my self have acces here in the uni to 2
diferent versions of the Zip Drive, the question goes to the zip
disks. I found some that are formated from factory and read only at
/dev/sda1 and others with the normal /dev/sda4. About the ZIP-linux is
easy; read carefully the HOWTO and you will get it going. Ahh but the
HOWTO talks on an old version of LINUX and well there are some tiny
differences (ei. the imm and ppa) but the escence is the same.
keep at it
Andres
PS UPS I am not suscribed to the list...
