Hello all,

I desperately want to hear from anybody who successfully got their Zip
drive
working with a Zip Zoom card (Adaptec 152x compatible). I've been
through
numerous READMEs and HOWTOs (general SCSI and BootPrompt HOWTOs, as well
as
the Zip-Linux HOWTO at www.torque.net) and I cannot get my card
recognised.
I'm running Linux 2.0 and the correct driver is in the kernel.

I get this message at boot:

scsi : 0 hosts.
scsi : detected total.   

The problem may be a lack of BIOS on the card. I'm not sure - the
documentation that comes with it is ridulously scant, and Iomega
themselves
have bugger all info available.

If you got it to work, what append line did you add to your lilo.conf
file
(or did you use a boot command) and how did you set the jumpers on the
card
itself?

I've learnt quite a lot about SCSI devices during this exercise, but I'm
starting to get pretty exasperated. By the way, the drive and card work
fine
under DOS/Curtains95, which is all the more galling.

Thanks in advance,

pete
