no difference!
My machine has primary and secondary IDE ribbons with two devices on each. Ribbon1: Lite On DVD writer and Zip 100
Ribbon2: Floppy and second hard drive.

ls -l /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/
This should be the ZIP drive is I have figured it right. I don't have anything as the slave on the second controller, but I have a DVD as master, and this is what I get...
[EMAIL PROTECTED] scripts]$ ls -l /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/ total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Feb 10 09:13 cd -> ../../../../../hdc
Another thing that may be usefull is to look at the /sys/bus/ide/drivers dirctory, and see what directories are there. Between this info, and the info from the ls command, we should be able to use udevinfo to get everything we need to write a rule for how we want to handle the ZIP drive.
