Hello Priya,

/proc/devices -
This file displays the various character and block devices currently configured. This does not include devices whose modules are not loaded. So you can easily figure out whether your floopy drive has been detected or not.

"fd" should appear in your block device section if its detected by system.

regrets, i should have explain it in my earlier post.

jazipconfig

JAZIPCONFIG(8)						      System Manager's Manual						    JAZIPCONFIG(8)

NAME

       jazipconfig - jazip(1) configuration tool.

SYNOPSIS

       jazipconfig [--non-interactive]

DESCRIPTION

       The jazipconfig script is a tool to easily build the /etc/jazip.conf file for the configuration of jazip(1)

OPTIONS

       The  optional  --non-interactive  command  line	parameter  instructs jazipconfig to do what it can to build a /etc/jazip.conf file without
       prompting the user.  On Debian systems, the command is invoked this way by the jazip package post-installation script.

       In this non-interactive mode, the script looks through /proc/scsi/scsi for detected Zip or Jaz devices.	 If  it  find  any,  it  looks	up
       /etc/fstab to see if it can find already specified mount points for them.  If (and only if) it finds mount points, it writes the device and
       mount point to /etc/jazip.conf

INTERACTIVE USE

       If no command line options are provided, jazipconfig runs interactively.  In this case, it also looks through /proc/scsi/scsi for  detected
       Zip or Jaz devices.  If it find any, it looks up /etc/fstab to see if it can find already specified mount points for them.  Then it creates
       a user menu which you can use to create the /etc/jazip.conf file.

NOTES

       The first entry listed in /etc/jazip.conf is the default device used when jazip is called without an argument.
