Summary: ATAPI ZIP drive does not work

Initial Comment:
 When i try to mount my ZIP drive system says that 
"Driver is not configured". When i looked into modules 
directory i noticed that ide_floppy module is absent. But 
when kernel starts up it sees me drive and identifies it. 
Why is ide_floppy module lost?

is this a selfbuilt kernel or a plain downloaded one? Could
you send me your .config file for the kernel?  Most likely
there is no module because it is built-in, rather than built
as a module - especially if its detected on startup!

remember that ZIP disks have strange partition tables /dev/hdd4
might be the beast you want.  

BUT! i'd advise reading some more on these drives...and AVOID
the ide-floppy method. use the ide-scsi instead.  you can
then put
hdd=ide-scsi on your bootstrap line. read more at:
