Hi there,

USB ZIP Drivers work unchanged bu loding usb-storage, and are assigned to
/dev/sda (/dev/sda4 for preformated VFAT partitions, as noted). Paralel ZIP
drives require ppa or imm modules, depending if they are old or newer (Iomega
changed the chipset for SCSI-over paralel, and the imm driver also works with
some other Iomega paralel products), being assigned to the same partition. But
internal Zip drives are IDE, not SCSI drives, so the different device.
