ide-floppy in etch

["Easthope" <peasthope@cablelan.net>]

About a week ago Kevin Ross mentioned,
"/lib/modules/2.6.18-3-686/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-floppy.ko"

Thanks Kevin.  The machine is now running kernel 
2.6.18; the *.ko file you cited is present.

If the machine is started with a 100 MB Zip disk 
in the drive, fdisk -l still fails to report it.
What additional ingredients and actions are 
necessary to allow partitioning the Zip disk.

(For interest: the Oberon ATA driver 
operates the Zip disk almost as a fixed disk 
with no additional software.  Unfortunately 
the Oberon partitioner fails on the Zip.)

Thanks,            ... Peter E.
