Don't forget umass.
Try adding sa. My USB HDD comes up as /dev/sa0. Your ZIP drive might 
need sa, too.

[dmesg snipped]

[various messages snipped]

See above. I think USB mass storage devices require sa to work, 
therefore you would need sth like

mount -t msdos /dev/sa* /mnt  <-- Don't know what * should be out of my 
head now.

Hope this helps.
