I guess Card Services sees your Adaptec card, since
you used it for the install? Assuming it does, you should
see some lines like
... kernel: scsi0 : Adaptec 152x SCSI driver; $Revision: 1.17 $
... kernel: scsi : 1 host.
... kernel: Vendor: IOMEGA Model: ZIP 100 Rev: D.09
... kernel: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
... kernel: Detected scsi removable disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 6, lun 0
<blah, blah...>
... kernel: sda: sda4
in /var/log/messages, if you have a DOS-format Zip in the
drive. Then, assuming you have a directory /zip,
mount -t msdos /dev/sda4 /zip
will mount it there. If Card Services don't work, you might
need to look at /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia, and make sure it has things
like
PCMCIA=yes
PCIC=i82365
in it, and you might need
exclude irq 12 # PS/2 Mouse - CJB, 26.9.96
exclude irq 5 # ESS AudioDrive
in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts to keep pc-cards from trying to
use interrupts that other devices want.

mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy
doesn't work? Some models needed the floppy=thinkpad
Lilo/Loadlin boot option... substitute ext2 for msdog
if you have a Linux floppy on your hands.

Much more difficult. Have to build a new kernel, with
audio support. Best to learn to mount disks first, I think.
Anyway, some info in this might be specific to my TP760LD,
but other TP's I've wokred with seem to need the same things.
Delighted to see more TP Linuxheads out there!
