Err, has something changed with the ZIP? I have used a
PPA (parallel port) zip for a long time. The partition
it mounts as is sda4, not hdx4. Does sda4 not work for
your zip drive?

This works...
mount -t vfat /dev/hdd4 /Zip
Helps if you get the partition number right!
Mine is not SCSI at all, so the emulation doesn't help any. It's
cinfigured as an IDE/Floppy. Eject works too!
Thanks all!

Hehe... The partition is almost always #4, try:
mount -t vfat /dev/hdd4 /Zip
