I was one of the players.
But my ide Zip is not a problem because I did use hdc=ide-scsi
and it now performs without problem.

I just did not remember seeing anything that matched my USB Zip behavior since 
I am able to mount and umount at will as long as I boot with a disk in the 
drive and it is on a system that because of its location I do not us as much
as the system with the ide zip.

Keeping a disk in the drive during boot creates no problems and in itself is an
easy enough fix.

Thanks
