I managed to get much working including that zip drive.  Turns out the 
parallel port needed to have the cable attached more gently than was done 
earlier.  I cannot get my cd burner running yet, that's an HL-DT-ST 
internal drive with a top speed of 40x.  The other thing I can't get 
working yet is the ensonicq 5880 sound card.  I tried installing alsa from 
debian and I did a successful modprobe on es1371 but alsa doesn't find 
drivers it needs in the snd- type class and alsa finds no sound device 
even with discover installed and running.  Whatever is broken for the 
sound card may be a very low level break.  I have debian-reference 
installed and am going to start some reading in that document it looks 
pretty extensive so far.  I had the cd burner running on other systems at 
/dev/hdd when reading files with it.
