Lo, folks --

I installed RH4.2, and have since upgraded to the 2.0.33 kernel.  (I run
libc.so.5.)  RedHat's 'Hardware Compatibility FAQ' says: removeable-
medium IDE drives are not supported, and they specifically mention
Iomega's ZIP as an example.  I recall seeing posts that they may be
supported by the module 'ide-floppy' and/or the kernel config option
'large_floppy'. 

Are these drives supported in a 2.0.x kernel, and if so, how should I
build and install the relevant module(s)?

TIA
