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
