6.2 doesn't have any support for USB at all, at least not unless you
hack it and install a 2.4 kernel.  8.0 should do ok, just modprobe the
usb_storage module and you should be alive.  I've tried to use one with
Red Hat 7.1 a while back, with hotplugging support.  Works like a charm.
Just plug it in and you'll be able to mount your Zip Disks on /dev/sda4
if there are no other SCSI devices on your system.
