I have reviewed the archives and cannot seem to make any sense of how to mount
my ide atapi zip drive. The physical layout is that it is device 1 on ide 0, the
Maxtor HD is device 0. On ide chain 1 I have 2 CDs, one for reading and one for
burning. When I review the dmesg, I find the following:

wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa
wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): <Maxtor 90913D4>
wd0: 8709MB (17836560 sectors), 17695 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S
wdc0: unit 1 (atapi): <IOMEGA  ZIP 100       ATAPI/23.D>, removable, intr,
iordis
wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 on isa
wdc1: unit 0 (atapi): <SAMSUNG SC-140B/    d003>, removable, intr, dma, iordis
acd1: drive speed 6875KB/sec, 128KB cache
acd1: supported read types: CD-R, CD-RW, CD-DA, packet track
acd1: Audio: play, 255 volume levels
acd1: Mechanism: ejectable tray
acd1: Medium: no/blank disc inside, unlocked
wdc1: unit 1 (atapi): <CD-RW  CRX100E/1.0m>, removable, accel, dma, iordis
acd2: drive speed 4134KB/sec, 1024KB cache
acd2: supported read types: CD-R, CD-RW, CD-DA, packet track
acd2: supported write types: CD-R, CD-RW, test write
acd2: Audio: play, 256 volume levels
acd2: Mechanism: ejectable tray
acd2: Medium: no/blank disc inside, unlocked

My / is mounted at /dev/wd0s3e, and the cdroms at /dev/acd1c and /dev/acd2c
respectively. I have tried to mount the zip drive as /dev/wd1s4 to /zip. I have
no luck with that. I have noticed activity on the zip drive when trying to mount
/dev/acd0 (taking shots in the dark, keep your heads down). I know this question
has been beat into the ground, but I cannot seem to make this infernal device
work. A little help is greatly appreciated. And if I should find I am infernal
in the skull, that may not really come to me as a surprise. ;-) Thanks much for
the help.
