An OT question: does Linux recognize Zip drives?

Win7 does not and I have a dozen or so Zip disks I want to check for content. The drive is in my machine from the XP days & BIOS recognizes it.

Not out of the box, fix for IDE drives:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IomegaZIPDrive
And one for parallel port drives.

Win7 does not seem to support the zip drive at all.

It's an IDE. Will that fix work if I'm running Ubuntu from a CD?

And, yeah, Win7 absolutely does not recognize any Zip drives. There's some who claim theirs does, but never explain how.
 
Windows Vista on my laptop (though i'll try out the 90 day Windows 8 test version in a separate partition soon)

Android on my cell phone

Don't feel the need to add anything else.. not a fan of Apple and have left my Unix days behind me
 
Windows 8 on my home pc, Windows 7 at work, iOS 5.1.1 on my iPhone 4S, webOS 2.2.4 on my Pre3, and webOS 3.0.5 with LunaCE on my White 32GB TouchPad 4G.
 
Windows 8 on my PC, Server 2008R2 (courtesy technet subscription)/Linux (PABXiaf)/FreeBSD (pfsense) on my server sitting atop VMWare ESXi 5. iOS 4 something on my iPhone 3G, ICS on my Acer Iconia (everyone at my college got one), and Honeycomb on my HTC Jetstream (got dirt cheap as employee discount). Pissed that I can't upgrade either Android tablets further due to a lack of vendor support.
 
Regularly:
Windows 7: Main System and netbook.

Windows XP: Work, and a virtual machine on the Main System.

Android 2.2: HTC smartphone


Honourable mentions:
Windows 1.01, MS-DOS 3.33, Windows 3.11, MS-DOS 6.22, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008R2, Windows 8 (Pre-release versions), GEM 2.0, System 7, Mac OS 8, iOS (borrowing original iPhone), Fedora 11,
 
Regularly: Computer-wise, Windows XP and 7. Phone-wise, Android ICS and Symbian Anna (Belle sucked).

Occasionally: Vista and S60.

Haven't mucked around with Unix in ages, see no real reason to use Windows 8, and I neither own an Apple product or have any intention whatever to do so.
 
Yikes. Now I have to actually sit down and count.

Home: Windows Vista and 7, OS X 10.8, iOS 6
Work: Windows 7, Server 2003-2008 R2, SLES 10 & 11, ESXi 5, AIX 6.1, Brocade FabricOS, SVC 6.4.

So, lots. gturner, how old do you actually have to be in order to refer to AIX as RS/6000, considering those machines are at least a decade old (if not more.) It's all Power 6 and 7(+) here at my neck of the woods.
 
^^ Pft, thats not old, had a big old VAX 6000 series mini running at one of my previous jobs, now THAT was an awesome machine. :D :cool::bolian::bolian:
 
Windows: XP, 7, and Zune (if that's a real OS)
Apple: iOS on the phone and the wife's iPad
Android: on my Nexus 7
 
I voted for three, but I probably use more on a regular basis.

Computer OS: OSX, Windows 7 & 8, Windows Server 2008 R2

Phone/Tablet: IOS, Android

Other: Tivo/Linux
