Okay.

Okay, your line in /etc/fstab for your Zip drive is different than mine (and
I'm not talking about hdc and hdd - my zip is master on my secondary channel
so that is the way it should be):
/dev/hdc4 /mnt/zip auto
user,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,sync,exec,codepage=850,noauto 0 0
How about trying it instead? Just change hdc4 to hdd4 (but make a backup of
your existing fstab file first).

and my dmesg info is *identical* to yours. Try my fstab entry for a Zip drive
and see what happens.
Post the results and let us know!
