[techtalk] Okay so I recompiled my kernel under RedHat 6.1

[Stephan Zaniolo]

	I once heard that you need to activate SCSI emulation in the kernel (I
didn't see that in dmesg printout) to use the parallel port Zip drive.  (I
have a SCSI Zip drive, so I didn't have to deal with this).  Caitlyn, is
this is accurate or not?

Good luck, :^)
