Andy, Thanks for your help. I did an insmod parport, then insmod ppa, which finally made the zip drive (it's a parallel port Zip 100) make noise. Mounting was the frustrating deal because sda4 just wouldn't work. I finally dorked around with sda numbers and got sda1 to work for some reason and the drive mounted just fine. The theme music to Rocky played loudly in my brain as I began to read the files and list the files on the zip drive. I started screaming "ADRIANNE!!!" Thanks again.
