This system has a ZIP 100 internal SCSI drive. This is a "real" SCSI
removable media drive, which is confusing Nautilus, which treats USB
flash drives as "fake" SCSI devices. It's likely that nobody expects
such a dinosaur to still be in use, so I have a hardware configuration
that is, er, untested, shall we say.

The lesson is: don't use physical SCSI removable media drives and "fake"
SCSI (like USB flash) removable drives together, unless you are prepared
to edit fstab and use the command line "mount" tool.

Given that it is unlikely the GNOME project cares about this issue, and
that I am working OK at the command line, I've not got the energy to
pursue this anymore.  I have a workaround and have given up. GNOME wins.
I lose.
