USB ZIP 100 Under Mandrake 8.0

[jammer42777]

Hi, I get this error when Trying to initialize my USB ZIP 100 "Unable to enter file:mnt/zip you do not have access rights to this location" and I'm in as root, I created the zip directory manually. My mount line in fstab looks like this:
/dev/sda/ /mnt/zip/ supermount exec,dev,suid,rw,fs=vfat 0 0
My mtab line looks like this: /dev/sda /mnt/zip supermount rw,fs=vfat 0 0
The ZIP registers in Hard Drake as /dev/sda
Any ideas? I'm open to them.

Yeah, I've got a Zip 100 USB working fine under Drake 8 at work. Unfortunately I'm at home now, so I can't tell you exactly how it's set up (I will on Tuesday).

If I recall, I did "mkdir /mnt/zip" then I created a link on the desktop with a URL to /mnt/zip with a DEV of /dev/sda4. Then I edited my fstab & mtab, using the floppy entry as a template, so it read like this:

/mnt/zip /mnt/zip supermount fs=vfat,dev=/dev/sda4 0 0

BTW: HardDrake called my zip sda too, but somewhere I saw it listed as sda4 and that worked. You can create the link to URL by right clicking your desktop in KDE.

I'll double check this info on Tuesday...



:cool: Mandrake :cool:

After double checking, that's looks to be about it...
