How do I install the Zip® ATAPI driver for Linux® Kernel 2.2.14 or higher?
Document # 10660.html

When installing your Zip® ATAPI drive in Linux® use the following steps to load the drivers: STEP ONE - Use the insmod command to install the following drivers:

    Note: You must be in the root and not SU (shared user).

  1. insmod ide-scsi

  2. insmod fat

  3. insmod vfat

Note: The FAT and VFAT are normally loaded by default in current released kernels.

If you get a message that indicates there is no such file or module when installing the fat.0 and the vfat.0, the module may already be installed or you are not logged in the root.

STEP TWO - Add the following mount point for the drive: mkdir /mnt/zip100.0

If you have more than one Iomega® drive, you will need to add a mount point for each drive. Use the following chart to determine the mount point for your Iomega drive:

    Zip 100 drives
        First drive   zip100.0
        Second drive   zip100.1
        Third drive   zip100.2
    Zip 250 drives
        First drive   zip250.0
        Second drive   zip250.1
        Third drive   zip250.2

    Note: These are the default names for Iomega drives. If you change the name you will be unable to use IomegaWare™ with your drive.

STEP THREE - Mount your drive
  1. Type: mount -t vfat /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip100.0
STEP FOUR - Add the following line to fstab to allow other users access to the drive:
  1. Type: /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip100.0 vfat noauto,user 0 0
