Hello All,

I've been having some difficulties mounting my internal zip drive. The disks
are readable on ay Win9x machine and I have been unable to mount them on
kernel 2.0.35. I have checked the mini-HOWTO concerning zip disks but did
not see anything that might apply. Here is some information as to the error:

boot messages (DMESG):
hdd: IOMEGA ZIP 100 ATAPI, ATAPI floppy drive

error message (mount /zip):
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad super block on /dev/hdd or to many
mounted file systems.

etc/fstab:
#
# /etc/fstab
#
# You should be using fstool (control-panel) to edit this!
#
# <device>    <mountpoint>   <filesystemtype> <options> <dump> <fsckorder>

/dev/hda6       /win/e  vfat     exec,dev,suid,rw 1 1

All other drives mount properly, thanks for your time.
