When I was originally setting up the Zip drive, I read a lot of
conversation about the above. However, for my system this is what
worked for IDE:
/dev/hdd /mnt/zip vfat exec,user,noauto,rw,suid,dev 0 0

..and this is what works for IDE-SCSI:
/dev/sda /mnt/zip vfat exec,user,noauto,rw,suid,dev 0 0

But remember, I'm the guy with the ghost in his machine that always
switches him to runlevel 5. <g>
