This is for a Memorex CDRW-2216 at hdc and an Iomega Zip drive at hdd,
both ATAPI drives.

No changes to conf.modules.

Additions to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
/sbin/modprobe sg
/sbin/modprobe ide-scsi

Addition to /etc/lilo.conf:
append = "hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi mem=124M"
(I already had the "mem=124M" there)

Additions to /etc/fstab:
/dev/sda /mnt/zip vfat exec,user,noauto,rw,suid,dev 0 0
/dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 user,noauto,suid,exec,dev,ro 0 1
(former entries for zip and cdrom removed)
