From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.2) Gecko/20021202 Description of problem: Reading from my Iomega Zip 100 parallel port drive is desperately slow, e.g. about 30 mins to read or wite ~50 MB to a 100 MB disk. The Zip drive itself works fine when I modprobe the imm module into the kernel, and the drive coexists quite happily on the same parallel port as my printer, using the pass-through port on the Zip drive. This issue is solely with access speed. I have tried manipulating the BIOS settings for the parallel port but to no avail. I was previously using Mandrake Linux 8.1 with identical hardware and the access speed to the Zip drive was excellent. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Attach Iomega Zip 100 drive to parallel port. 2.Modprobe imm module. 3.Insert disk and mount. 4.Read or write to Zip disk. Actual Results: Access speed was very slow. Expected Results: Better performance expected by compsarison with Mandrake Linux 8.1 Additional info: Compaq Presario laptop with AMD-K6-2 333 MHz processor, 160 MB RAM, parallel port BIOS settings to allow O.S. to automatically configure port.
