I have a parallel port Zip Drive and I am using preformated zip disks so my
system may be a bit different from yours.
However, I remember reading that all Zip disks, for some reason or other to yet
be explained are formated as the 4th partition, so my mount command is:
mount -t vfat /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip
and I would assume that yours, since it is not scsi is going to be:
mount -t vfat /dev/hdb4 /mnt/zip
Or modify the entries below to to reflect the hdb4 name.
