Re: Zip Drives...

Dunno, I'll check that - it's always been sda, I see no reason for it to
change! No other scsi devices .. also, it's definitely an MSDOS formatted
disk, and yes, I have vfat & it works fine... the kernel just refuses to
believe sda is a valid block device ;(( (And I've checked /dev/, it's
fine, right major & minor & permissions)..

Dammit.,
