How do I mount a zip drive using a parallel port PCI card?
I'm simply trying to get some files off a disk however as far as I know you need to enable some type of support on the kernel somehow?
Any assistance is appreciated (Running Debian 11 testing *bullseye*)

Re: Iomega Zip Drive?
This is a good reason to be familiar with virtual machines and advanced techniques using them.
Many PCI cards will vfio pass, so it's possible to get the device into an 'easier' OS.
I've done this for a scsi floptical, not a parallel port, but same tactics.
