Jazip does its magic using low-level SCSI commands. As such, the
ATAPI version of the Zip is supported in Jazip through SCSI
emulation in the kernel.
You can use your Zip _now_ without Jazip's helpful interface
(using mount, etc). If you wish to use Jazip, recompile your
kernel enabling SCSI emulation. If you do this, your ATAPI Zip
drive will be detected at bootup as a SCSI disk (e.g. /dev/sda)
instead of /dev/hdc.
Hope this helps.
Your friendly Debian Jazip maintainer,
