    I'm having a rather serious problem with ppa I've not seen discussed in
    newsgroups:

    I'm using Linux 2.2.14 with the PPA driver. My Zip drive is a parallel
    zip 100.
    I'm running a Celeron 450, my printer port is set to ECP+EPP in the
    BIOS.

    When I start copying files from the zip drive to a hard disk, it usually
    hangs after a few dozens of megs :
    the application reports an IO error , the zip drive "read" light and the
    motor won't stop, and the eject button doesn't work. I can unmount it
    and unload ppa, but I have to power cycle the zip drive for things to
    return normal.
    This is not a problem with the zip disks, as it occurs on any file and
    on any disk.

    It seems to occur more under high load, and the whole system slows down
    1 or 2 seconds before the I/O error occurs

    /var/log/messages says :

    (hundreds of similar lines with contiguous sector numbers)...

    My .config is attached.
