	I was able to run my ZIP drive with the 2.0.x kernel on Slackware
install and now on Debian with no problems... I've got the IOMEGA SCSI
accelerator card which is compatible with the AHA152x SCSI card... Works
like a charm... This is the SCSI model not the parallel port model...
Although there is a IOMEGA parallel port SCSI module that you can
install...
	Hope that helps,
