Zip drives are a type of floppy storage medium supported by Iomega, which can hold much more data than a floppy disk.

Serial Port Zip Drives

Zip drives that use the serial port can be run by the imm module. The special device used by these drives is typically /dev/sda4. One can access one like so...

  # su
  # modprobe imm
  # mount -t vfat /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip (create the zip directory if necessary.)
  # cd /mnt/zip
