Even though the documentation says otherwise? So if I recompile the kernel
to include these items into the kernel, do I mount it like a scsi drive ie -
mount -t vfat /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip ?

For external Zip drives you cannot compile the SCSI-Generic or Parallel
support in as a modules, it must be in the kernel. You also need SCSI disk
support for external Zips (even if you don't have a SCSI controller or
drive).
