    I also have an internal Iomega ZIP drive (100 MB) that I use in DOS and 
BL2.
I have the bare.i kernal from SW7.1.

    There is some software for Linux at the Iomega website. 
It is quite small, so I have attached it to this email.  (iw = IomegaWare)

    The trick was to NOT have the thing configured/installed in my BIOS,
but to load GUEST (in DOS) and use iw in scripts (for Linux).

     I have created a mounting point for the ZIP drive  /zipdos
and a couple of executables for mounting and unmounting the disk.
You will need to have a disk IN the drive to be able to do that.
 
     I haven't tried with a parallel-port or scsi drive.

Regards,
         Ron
