you might want to look into the "sync" option for the zip drive. If I am not mistaken, it makes sure that there is no data hanging around "in memory" so that it is lost on a sudden disk eject.
We had gotten a internal ide zip100 running and all was good then I unmounted it and it won't mount again............ something else to play with. BTW, I also use the sync option for a USB SmartThumbdrive I have.... 128MB and clips to your keychain.
