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 Charles
