External JAZ 2GB Parallel Drive

I downloaded the iomegaware for linux. I tried modprobe imm, ppa and none of them worked. I don't know where to go next! If I have iomegaware which is this http://www.iomega.com/software/linuxtools.html

(Parallel Port) Parallel Port Zip 100 or 250 drive with imm.o or ppa.o drivers

Well I mean I have my JAZ drive turned on and plugged in with no disk. Maybe that is the reason. I'll try that right now. I'll boot up to knoppix 2 and do the modprobe imm or modprobe ppa

But one problem is that I don't know howto run the iw software for it. I mean I don't know what to type to run it I'm thinking it's just iw -Settings+options i'll get to that once I detect this under knoppix.

Ok seems I put a disk in and did a modprobe ppa and it worked fine
Then I tried mounting it with mount /dev/sda /mnt/jaz
and I get an error about the filesystem. I must specify the filesystem of the disk. Now i'm trying to figure out howto do that with some research but if someone knows post quick!

Then i'll mount it then try and get the iw to work!

It's alright everyone i mounted -t hfs /dev/sda /mnt/jaz
And everything went well. Now I'm going to transfer the files. ok hmm now i just need to do a full copy. I'll do that from startx
I have to mount the /dev/hda4 with -rw

i'm so happy
