- For a parallel Zip, you'll need the ppa.c SCSI driver, which recently
- got put in to the 1.3.x kernels, and it's a module for earlier ones. I don't
- have the ftp site handy - check comp.os.linux.hardware for the ZIP faq.
-
- For a SCSI Zip, you need a working Linux-compatible SCSI card setup
- (the ZIP Zoom will do just nicely, since it's basically an Adaptec 152x
- series card) and the SCSI disk driver built into your built kernel. (Make
- sure the kernel sources are installed - I assume you're running slackware)
-
- (If that's too vague, look at some of the kernel building and ZIP
- drive info in the Linux newsgroups and sunsite...)
-
- Once the drive is set up under Linux, you can use a Mac ZIP disk by
- entering 'export MacVolumes=/dev/sda' (it's usually /dev/sda) before running
- Executor. Make sure the Mac disk is in the drive before running Executor,
- at least until beta1.
-
- : Also, in order to run Executor under linux, do I have to install
- : X-windows on my linux system?
-
- If you can use svgalib (it should be in your Slackware setup disks
- somewhere) well, you can use executor-svga which does not need X (it's faster
- than the X version anyway...)
-
- Also, if you want to use Executor for >10 minutes at a time, it's
- probably a good idea to register soon, since prices will go up once the
- beta1 comes out...
-
- Good luck!
