You need to load the sd_mod module. It will 'detect' your zip and jaz as such.
tail /var/log/messages to find out which identities it gives these two
devvices. They will be along the lines of sd?4 where ? probably = 'a' and 'b'

sg is the sg_mod module, scsi-general. The *only* devices currently used by
