The most consistent thing to be said about them is that they are a fickle bunch. They are very particular about their location in the SCSI chain. Assuming that you have the Iomega driver in the active extension set, then I would suggest two things: First, make sure that the termination switch is activated, and second, connect the Zip directly to the computer port to see if it is then "seen."
If it is "seen" then I would change the order in which the devices are connected and/or change the SCSI ID of the Zip and try again.
