This short guide explains how to use the HipZip in Linux over a USB connection.
- Connect the HipZip to the USB port with the Iomega USB cable.
- Press \'Play\' on the HipZip to turn it on in connect mode.Â
- Wait a few minutes -- the HipZip takes a while to initialize.Â
- As root, cat /proc/bus/usb/devices. You should see a lines like this:
S: Manufacturer=Iomega
S: Product=USB Clik 40
-
Now ls /proc/scsi/ and look for a directory named usb-storage-N where N is the devices number. For instance, usb-storage-0. The 0 indicates that the SCSI device
is sda (1 would be sdb).
- Now, issue the mount command:
mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/disk.
At this point, you should be able to use the HipZip as a normal disk.
