USB Iomega zip drive problem

    FWIW, I just moved my old USB Zip drive over to my Linux box to make 
room for a new external hard drive, and it works fine.  I used it for 
storing documents, in a multi-level directory structure, and have had no 
problems either mounting, reading, or writing.  I'm currently running 
kernel *.2166.npt1.
    Cheers,
Gordon
