Okay, so in dmesg (do a dmesg > dmesg.txt and read it) your Zip drive is a
slave on the first IDE (primary) channel, right?
Well, then you would need to set my earlier /etc/fstab example to:
/dev/hdb4 /mnt/zip vfat nosuid,user,noauto,nodev 0 0
As su do a "mount -a"
Then right click on your KDE desktop and pick create new floppy (I'm told
CD-ROm will work too) device. Fill in the fields, it should find your Zip
drive then.
BTW, I didn't notice earlier (sorry) do you have supermount disabled as well
as the devfs stuff in lilo.conf?
I had to do this to get my drives working right under 8.2...
