Hi Robert,
for me it works. It takes the following modules: parport, parport_pc,
scsi_mod, sd_mod, imm.
(It says that imm is for more recent drives, while ppa is for older ones.)
On my system I can simply do:
modprobe imm
mount -t msdos /dev/sda4 /zip ,
but you can try to modprobe each module separately. BTW, what file system
do you use on your ZIP?
