After following the suggestion of loading the parport_pc module, I was able
to get my parallel port zip drive working and mounted. However, after about
three repetitions of unloading the ppa module, mounting the drive no longer
worked. I then tried to "ls /proc/scsi/ppa" which gave me a kernel oops and
segmentation fault.
