Zipdrive not recognized
Knoppix fails to recognize my Iomega 250MB internal zipdrive. Is there a way to manually mount it?

It has probably been configured as /dev/sda
Most non-normal drives get sent through scsi emulation. At work I've been using a USB 1.44mb floppy drive (made by Imation). Knoppix puts
/dev/sda1
/dev/sda2
/dev/sda3
/dev/sda4
/dev/sda5
on my desktop. None of them work, but if I want to mount a floppy, I open a terminal and type
mount /dev/sda /mnt/floppy

Thanks for your info.
However, I do not have /dev/sda on my desktop, and cannot mount it using a terminal window. I get an error message that the file system is unknown.

I know it has been awhile since this topic was going, but I was curious how this turned out.

--If it hasn't worked yet, modprobe for the following:
ide-floppy 11744 0
ide-scsi 7696 0
sd_mod 10688 10 (autoclean)
scsi_mod 88400 6 (autoclean) [usb-storage st sr_mod sg aic7xxx ide-scsi sd_mod]
--I'm pretty sure ide-floppy is the one you need.
