Trying to get my IOmega parallel port zip drive
working w BL3. It was written somewhere in this list
that I would copy one or more modules ending in .o to
the /lib/modules/2.2.26/misc directory and type insmod
<module_name> w/o the .o
DId this for ppa.o, but this did not get the zipdrive
recognized. Some error message about SCSI I think.

The zipdrive is powered on and snugly attached to the
parallel port of the PC. The PC's BIOS parallel port
setting is set to EPP instead of bidrectional or ECP.
Does the BIOS setting need to be changed to have BL3
recognize this by ppa? Is there another module
besides ppa.o I need to download and thenrun with
insmod?
