Problems recognizing USB devices

[Tony Elkan]

I'm working on a relative's *very early* iMac (tray CD) trying to 
hook up a USB zip drive. The computer sees the drive (shows up in 
System Profiler just fine) but never mounts it, sends an error 
message that "The software needed to run this device is not 
installed". I've installed the drivers from the Iomega CD (more than 
once) but still no luck. Guest mode doesn't work either.

I recall hearing long ago that the early iMacs had problems with 
peripherals. Does anyone know any of the details of this problem? Has 
anyone tried to hook up those new USB keychain/flash/vault storage 
devices to any early iMac? (The main purpose of all this fuss is to 
provide a means for backing up critical files)
