Lane,
I take it your cdrw is an ATAPI device?
I take it your ZIP is an ATAPI device?

Much better is to add the following to your /etc/lilo.conf for the
linux image:
append = "hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi"
> alias scd0 sr_mod # load sr_mod upon access of scd0
Why? What is sr_mod? sg provides (emulated) SCSI read (sr).
> pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi # before sg, load ide-scsi
No. place a "/sbin/modprobe sg" line in your /etc/rc.d/rc.local.
The sg module will report on the SCSI devices as it is installed.

Not needed.
Set up symbolic links:
/dev/zip --> /dev/sg4 {This is a guess, remember that a zip drive
only uses partition 4}
/dev/cdrw --> /dev/sr0
Then reboot, check your lsmod for all modules loaded.
Now read and write a mounted zip disk and read a mounted CDROM to
check.
Then umount the cdrw and run cdrecord -scanbus to verify write access
to the cdrw.
I'm not sure about the ZIP, since I don't have one.
