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

port BIOS settings to allow O.S. to automatically configure port.
