hi to all ... 

quite strange to look for an old zip on an ES distro but i don't like it
don't run ... 

i have a zip100 parallel, so using ppa module ... 

that is the output of dmesg after `modprobe ppa` 

ppa: Version 2.07 (for Linux 2.4.x)
ppa: Found device at ID 6, Attempting to use EPP 32 bit
ppa: Found device at ID 6, Attempting to use PS/2
ppa: Communication established with ID 6 using PS/2

seem all ok ... 

but if i try to mount to eject (eject /dev/sda) to list partition table
(fdisk -l /dev/sda) i got errors ... 

sda: I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 0
 I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 2
 I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 4
 I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 6

some more info : 
*) this happen also on RH9 
*) on RH9 seem to work on some prebuild kernels, but never when i
recompile, same errors ... 


thanks ...
