Functionally, these animals are treated in a very similar manner. The Zip drives are characterised by being 100 or 250 meg in capacity, the LS120 is 120Meg.

There are three (3) device types in both families.

IDE

The (internal) IDE driver for both families is the same, ide-floppy.o

Paralllel no switches Parrallel Super (250) 1 switch.
Parallel Printer Port

The (external) parallel drivers differ for each animal, and, two separate drivers are supplied for ZIP depending on its model (automatic vs normal).

Zip SCSI (two switches),
SCSI

SCSI of course can be internal or external (the cable doesn't care). Each device family uses a separate driver. And, in the case of the ZIP, a combined parallel / scsi driver can be used.

The necessary drivers, and the mounting syntax for each type are detailed below.
