Have you tried "insmod imm" (naturally you need parport.o,
parport_pc.o, scsi_mod.o and sd_mod.o loaded).
Send me the output of "dmesg" when you have tried this and then I see
what I can do.

PS: Sorry to those people who I have not answer their email queries
on ZIP drives - been pulling some long hours on another project.
