Panasonic MO (combines a CD-ROM drive and an optical removable disk). You have to set a switch when configuring the kernel to get both part work at the same time. Parallel port Zip drives ftp://gear.torque.net/pub/ Parallel port Avatar Shark-250 http://www.torque.net/parport/ Removable drives work like hard disks and floppies, just fdisk/mkfs and mount the disks. Linux provides drive locking if your drives support it. mtools can also be used if the disks are in MS-DOS format. CD-R drives require special software to work. Read the CD-R Mini-HOWTO. Linux supports both 512 and 1024 bytes/sector disks. Starting with kernel 2.1.32 Linux also supports 2048 bytes/sector. A patch to kernel 2.0.30 is available at http://liniere.gen.u-tokyo.ac.jp/2048.html. The 2048 bytes/sector support is needed for Fujitsu magneto-optical disk drives M2513 Starting with pre-patch-2.0.31-3 IDE/ATAPI internal Zip drives, flopticals and PD's are supported.
