I just picked up RH8.0 and Mandrake 9.0 from Ebay.  I installed RH8.0 on my
600X.  Much to my surprise, I had immediate access to the ultrabay zip250
drive that swaps with the CD-DVD drive.  I haven't had a chance to find out
if Mdk90 recognizes the Zip drive that usually connects throught the
parallel port on my desktop.
