- I have a Zip 100 APTI in my computer, which worked perfectly with LM 7.1, 7.2, and 8.0, but when I try to mount it in 8.1, I get this message:
[tim@localhost tim]$ mount /dev/hdd4
mount: special device /dev/hdd4 does not exist
My only guess is that is is a DevFs problem, but if it was that I think it would have been mentioned on the forum or somewhere else.
BTW: the drive is properly connected:
[tim@localhost tim]$ cat /proc/ide/ide1/hdd/model
IOMEGA ZIP 100 ATAPI

- Hello,
An IDE Zip drive is detected as an IDE removable disk drive.
To install your ZIP drive you must enter the following command (as root) in a
command shell :
modprobe ide-floppy
Add the follwing line in /etc/fstab, as the root user :
/dev/hdb4 /mnt/zip vfat noauto,user 0 0
The use of the /dev/hdb4 device supposes that your Zip drive is plugged to the
primary IDE controller, in slave mode. Eventually replace the example value
with the correct one, following the following list :
/dev/hda4 - primary controller, master mode
/dev/hdb4 - primary contrôleur primaire, slave mode
/dev/hdc4 - secondary controller, master mode
/dev/hdd4 - secondary controller, slave mode
...
Create the mount point :
mkdir -p /mnt/zip
Once you managed to get the zip acces in /mnt/zip into working (test with the
KDE or Gnome explorer), you can configure the system so that your Zip drive is
detected at system startup. Edit the /etc/rc.local file and add the following
command line to it :
modprobe ide-floppy
