Well, It's nice to know which kernel your using ofcourse. But it's more
wise to compile the Parallel printer support as a module and the SCSI
low level drivers into the kernel.
It's not possible yet (in the 2.0.x kernels) to use Printer & ZIP100
drivers together.. I believe this options is not yet supported until
kernel 2.1.55 (but I may be wrong about this.)
I use the rc.zip as well... it's a nice script... for mounting
your zip100 disks.
Do not forget to make the correct directory's (dosz and zip).....
