Iomega Zip Disk Drive

Applies to

SuSE Linux: Versions since 5.1
Kernel: Versions since 2.0.31

Request:

You want to install an EIDE or ATAPI Iomega Zip Drive or Floppy Drive (i.e. LS 120).

There is an official device-driver included with the SuSE Linux Distribution since version 5.1.

Procedure:

These drives are accesable like any other (E)IDE drive...(/dev/hdX, if you've partitions on your drive /dev/hdXY. Replacing X with the correct drive letter, and Y with the correct partition number). Most important is that you mount the medium (see maddin_fstab.html) before you can read or write to/from the medium. Before you remove the medium from the drive you need to unmount it first!

LS 120 as Boot Drive

Last Modified: 17.02.1999, SuSE Linux 6.0

You can boot, like any other floppy drive, from an LS 120. It is, however, NOT possible to write 1.44 MB Disks on this drive when you do so.
