Hi Jerry;
Check the script /dev/MAKEDEV
you should be able to find a device
there to support IOMEGA ZIP  drive.
then if that device is called zip0
for example you should do a;
cd /dev
./MAKEDEV zip0
then make a directory like /iomega
then mount the created device on the
created directory.
greetings.
