[ale] ppa & RH7.0

[Scott Nolde]

I've got a zip drive I'd like to use with my RH7 computer.  I've got
scsi support compiled in my kernel.

Block size seems screwed up, too.  See following:

[root at ws6 linux-2.2.16]# modprobe ppa
ppa: Version 2.03 (for Linux 2.2.x)
ppa: Found device at ID 6, Attempting to use EPP 32 bit
ppa: Communication established with ID 6 using EPP 32 bit
scsi1 : Iomega VPI0 (ppa) interface
scsi : 2 hosts.
  Vendor: IOMEGA    Model: ZIP 100           Rev: J.03
  Type:   Direct-Access                      ANSI SCSI revision: 02

Does anyone have a solution to this?  I used to have this running under
RH6.x.
